MCAD Advisory Board

The Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD) Advisory Board is established pursuant to Chapter 6, Section 56(f), of the Massachusetts General Laws.

The MCAD Advisory Board is composed of at least 21 members, with 13 members appointed by the Governor and eight members appointed by the Attorney General, in accordance with the statutory requirements. Members serve five-year terms.

The Board’s composition is intended to reflect the diverse experiences, expertise, and communities of the Commonwealth. Members are selected with the goal of ensuring robust geographic representation across Massachusetts, bringing together perspectives from every region of the state—from the Berkshires to Cape Cod and the Islands, and communities throughout the Commonwealth. The Governor shall designate one member of the board to serve as Chair.

Consistent with Section 56(f), the Board's membership is intended to include individuals representing a broad range of perspectives and areas of expertise, including fair housing, residential real estate, financial institutions, private employers, higher education, labor organizations, racial, ethnic and linguistic communities, women, older adults, persons with disabilities, and recipients of public assistance.

Through this broad representation, the Advisory Board provides an important forum for informed input and recommendations to support the Commission’s work and its mission to advance equality and eradicate discrimination throughout the Commonwealth.
