Maya Smart at Austin’s New Central Library.
Town Lake (TX) Chapter Member Maya Smart was named one of Tribeza magazines’ People of the Year.
“When it comes to community involvement, Maya Payne Smart is in deep,” says Tribeza writer Nicole Beckley. “Since moving to Austin in the spring of 2015, she’s joined the boards of the Library Foundation, the Texas Book Festival, Montessori For All, and St. David’s Foundation; chaired the UT Libraries Advisory Council; and served on the advisory council for the Fearless Leadership Institute, a mentoring program for undergraduate women of color at UT. Not to mention her other volunteer commitments, like working with toddlers at the YMCA’s early-learning readiness program or being an in-school reading tutor.”
