New Board Member Joins Pollen Midwest
Pollen couldn’t be more excited to welcome a new member to our Board of Directors: Alexandra Siclait—a longtime Pollenite and community leader. As a Pollen board member, Alexandra will help Pollen be a catalyst for the change we are working toward in our communities. She knows that imaginative thinking demands that we seek and commit to truths beyond what is and look to what could be. That imagination is critical to our creativity and belief in a better future. Moreover, imagination drives our efforts to decenter dominant systems of power.

“The stories we tell ourselves and others impact our humanity. I value how Pollen Midwest harnesses the power of our stories for narrative change, building toward a more humane, free, just, and loving society. On a very personal level, I am thrilled to collaboratively govern an organization for which I know the team first-hand. I strongly believe I cannot be an effective board member from a distance. So personally knowing the team I am advocating for will make all the difference, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
