Board of Directors & Staff Leadership
Aztec Boys & Girls Club is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation. These means we are incorporated by the IRS to the service and benefit of the our community, Aztec New Mexico. All money raised is funneled back into youth services and our community.
The Club began running boxing and wrestling programs in 1971, but became an "OFFICIAL" Club the first week in November, 1973, when both the IRS and Boys Clubs of America legally recognized our charter. Since 1981 we have been formally recognized under our current name, the Aztec Boys & Girls Club.
As a "nonprofit chartered for public benefit", we have a VOLUNTEER (unpaid) Board of Directors who is empowered to hire a "Chief Executive" who then hires the staff and ensures the organization follows the directives of the Board, the laws of the state, and the requirements of Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
