Dr. Melissa Mace, Executive Director of the Spokane NAACP

Dr. Melissa Mace is the owner and clinician at Discovery Counseling Group, and the first-ever Executive Director of the Spokane NAACP.

We dive into her powerful journey through social work and therapy, her deep personal ties to Spokane, and how her life experiences now shape the way she leads and uplifts the community. Dr. Mace is already making a major impact in Spokane, and this conversation highlights why.

As Executive Director of the Spokane NAACP, Dr. Mace is leading with intention—centering youth engagement, restorative justice, and stronger collaboration across community organizations. Under her leadership, the chapter is expanding its reach through programming, partnerships, and advocacy work that reflects Spokane’s evolving needs. Her approach to leadership is grounded in transparency, accessibility, and a deep belief in collective progress.

We also talk about how you can get involved—starting with the Freedom Fund Gala, happening Friday, November 15th. This is the NAACP Spokane’s biggest annual fundraiser and a celebration of the progress being made across the city. Tickets are on sale now at a discounted rate, but prices increase October 1st, so don’t wait.
