The Dallas Mavericks have introduced the 2024-26 Dallas Mavericks Advisory Council (DMAC), continuing their commitment to community engagement and strategic leadership.
Established in 2018, DMAC is comprised of approximately 30 leaders from diverse industries and communities across North Texas.
“The contributions of DMAC members over the past 6 years have been significant and far exceeded my expectations,” said Dallas Mavericks CEO Cynt Marshall.
“I’m grateful for their service and dedication as we work together to bring our values to life in every aspect of our business.”
This third cohort of advisors will provide insights to help the Mavericks achieve their business objectives while fostering inclusivity and collaboration.
The council’s roster is refreshed biennially to ensure a dynamic exchange of ideas.
“The Dallas Mavericks Advisory Council is a critical piece to how we conduct our business,” says Katie Edwards, Chief Impact Officer for the Mavericks and D-MAC Co-Chair.
“We value the opportunity to listen and learn from people outside of the organization and connect with diverse communities across our region. Welcome to all of our new members!”
In addition to welcoming new members, the Mavericks will maintain the D-MAC Alumni group, encouraging former members to stay involved.
