Organization Chart

The 11th Department Organization manages the projects and the 11th Department Platform that members use to discuss ideas and arrive at solutions to member-led projects.

The 11th Department Organization is governed by a Board of Directors and managed by the 11th Department Executive Office composed of full-time and part-time employees, interns, and volunteers, whose sole functions are to:

1. Manage the Organization.
2. Manage the Platform.
3. Find and Provide Funds for Projects.
4. Work with Diaspora Region Chairs to implement projects.
5. Provide General Diaspora Support and Services to its members.

The 11th Department Advisory Committee provides expert advice and guidance from advisors who are experts in various specialized fields. It consists of members from the business and nonprofit sectors, government agencies, Friends of Haiti, and general Haitian populace.

The 11th Department Governing Committee has as its members the Executive Director and the seven Diaspora Region Chairs, who receive decisions passed on to it by the Sector Group Committee Leaders of each region.

Discussions, ideas, and decisions are made at the lowest level, which is the Sector Groups. The Sector Groups exist within each Diaspora Region and Haiti's 10 Departments. When an issue has been debated and agreed upon by the Sector Group Committee Members, they pass the decision up the ladder to the regional level, and up the chain to the executive office for funding and implementation.
