Why I joined the Board:
I’m thrilled to uplift the inspiring work of the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus as a Board Member. As someone whose life is enriched immeasurably by music, and informed by hope, I’m honored to spend time supporting the message of inclusion and love that the Chorus stands for. From the moment I was introduced to this work, I have been compelled by the mission to promote the transformative power of music to heal, to enlighten and to foster unity.
