About the community
Who we are, who runs it, and how decisions get made.
Mission
To unite people from Kazakhstan of every background living in North and South Carolina, preserve the Kazakh language, culture and traditions for the next generation, and support newcomers as they settle in the United States.
Board and officers
Three officers are on file with the state. The bylaws provide for five board members and two managing officers; the remaining seats are filled at the first board meeting, and the names will appear here. The board runs the organization and elects its own members. Community membership does not come with a vote.

Everything that governs the organization, in one place. New documents go here as soon as the board adopts them.
