The Board of Directors of the American Humanist Association received a communication on behalf of an AHA chapter with concerns regarding Mandisa Thomas, a member of the AHA Board. The AHA Board has discussed the information provided and has resolved to look into the matter completely and thoroughly in line with the values of our organization. As the Board considers the matter, Mandisa has taken a leave of absence and withdrawn from all responsibilities at the AHA, including participation in the AHA Board, with immediate effect.

The American Humanist Association

The American Humanist Association (AHA) works to protect the rights of Humanists, atheists, and other nontheistic Americans. The AHA advances the ethical and life-affirming worldview of Humanism, which—without beliefs in gods or other supernatural forces—encourages individuals to live informed and meaningful lives that aspire to the greater good of humanity.
