Wide-format flat poster-style illustration for a website ‘Our Team / Our Board’ page background. Stylized silhouettes of diverse people standing together in unity, shown abstractly (not individual portraits) to symbolize collaboration, leadership, and support. Background features abstract celestial shapes, leaves, and pathways representing growth, guidance, and shared vision. Minimal details so the illustration works as a background, with bold graphic style, minimal lines, strong color blocks, and a harmonious palette consistent with the organization’s visuals
