 Asmbly's organization structure consists of two main groups: the board, who are in charge of strategy and governance, and volunteer leaders and paid staff, who are in charge of getting stuff done.  Sometimes an individual volunteer serves in multiple roles, but this isn't always the case.  See [[Leadership]] for info on current and past appointments.
 While the organization chart below reflects reporting structure within Asmbly,  we as an organization value collaboration and see all positions as having direct relationships with one another so that we may effectively reach our shared goals.
