MINNPOST — Sometimes being popular can start to feel like a burden. Just ask Eunice Adjei-Bosompem ’06 ’10, a St. Cloud-based community activist and sometime public face of the Central Minnesota city’s growing immigrant and refugee population.
Being visible made Adjei-Bosompem a perfect candidate to help add diversity to St. Cloud’s many boards and commissions. As word of her interest and experience in board service grew, the invitations began to role in. At first, Adjei-Bosompem, a proud advocate for people of color in her adopted hometown, was thrilled. She relished the opportunity to join the ranks of St. Cloud — and the state’s — movers and shakers, helping to influence policy and change. Before long she had joined the boards of Tri-County Action Program (Tri-CAP); Create CommUNITY, St. Cloud Major Dave Kleis’ diversity initiative; the St. Cloud Human Rights Commission; the St. Cloud State University Alumni Association; and the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.
