| MISSION Dedicated to support and promote our community and raise awareness of the rich Congolese cultural in Northern California while providing community-based services to our members. LEADERSHIP VISION To empower each member to actively participate in shaping our community’s future by matching the good intentions to promote and serve the community with the actions. "Les Paroles s'envolent, les ACTES restent" LEADERSHIP FOCUS Current leadership's focus is to strengthen our efforts, improve communication and relationship among members by developing and encouraging a sense of community spirit through various social activities that bring people together. OUR GOALS In pursuit of our mission, INGA Association uses a comprehensive approach for strengthening the Congolese community. The primary goals of the INGA Association are: 1) To provide community-based social and moral support to our association members who are Friends and Congolese living in northern California. 2) To serve as framework of cultural dialogue, community resolution, and fraternal support among members of our community. 3) To exchange information on our country of origin and its cultural values, traditions, and assets and the cultural of the United States where we now live. 4) To help our community members in the task of developing self-confidence of their own potential and capability while integrating into the American life style. 5) To ensure that the ideal of the unit and the sense of organization that characterize our community be elevated at the highest level of the American communities and other associations of the African communities in California. LEADERSHIP CHALLENGE Volunteer members of the board of directors who make the governance body of INGA Association are responsible for establishing the association vision, goals and shapping INGA' short and long-term directions. In doing so, the leadership role is to exercise the ability of motivating, influencing, and inspiring others in a shared vision of community goals without a formal base of authority or power. It is an individual call or decision to support INGA's efforts by joining others in the community. Like everyone in this country, members of the leadership team or local regional councils are busy professionals and family men and women who take on the challenge of these roles and responsibilities just because they want to make a difference in their local community.
