Neighborhood Allies Announces Board Transitions: Welcoming New Member Malika Fields-Harris, Esq. and Celebrating the Service of Mamadou Balde

Nov 21, 2025

Neighborhood Allies is pleased to announce an important transition within our Board of Directors as we continue strengthening our leadership for the years ahead. 

We are honored to welcome Malika Fields-Harris, Esq. to the Neighborhood Allies Board of Directors. A Pittsburgh-based attorney and U.S. Air Force veteran, Malika brings a distinguished record of public service, legal expertise, and community leadership to our organization. 

We are excited to welcome Malika’s thoughtful leadership, broad expertise, and deep commitment to service as she joins our Board. 

 

 


At the same time, we extend our deepest gratitude to Mamadou Baldé, who is stepping down from the board. Mamadou’s departure comes as he takes on an exciting new role: he has been promoted to Senior Managing Director and Greater Philadelphia Market Leader for CBRE. 

Mamadou has been a dedicated and engaged Board member, offering valuable insights, strategic guidance, and unwavering support for our mission. We are grateful for his service and the perspective he brought to our work. While we will miss his presence on the Board, we are thrilled for this next chapter in his professional journey and wish him continued success.
