I am excited and humbled to be working with this new committee as we pave the way to a brighter future of understanding and love between all of us despite race, sexuality, ethnic background, or any other factors.

If you are seeing this, and did not sign up to join this committee I urge you to reach out and join us. All are welcome, and I am very much looking forward to working with all of you. You can reach me at the e-mail and phone number at the bottom of this message.
