How have you been involved with the LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District? About 5 years
Why do you want to be a board member?
I believe that the board can benefit from my fundraising experience, as well as my community contacts and outreach. I also believe that I can benefit from serving on a board that has opportunities for growth, and that appreciates the service of its board members.
Candidate Statement:
I have been involved in the leather community for more than 30 years. I love my community and want to engage them in critical thinking about how we as a community can help to move the needle on policies and decisions that impact us. I also want to start to think about not just our history, but our stories NOW. Who are we, and where are we going? I have raised millions of dollars for the LGBTQ communities through various effort and events and I look forward to bringing those skills to the Leather and LGBTQI Cultural District.
