I <br /> also served as a volunteer on both the Oakland and Berkeley Arts Councils and was awarded a <br /> year-long fellowship at the San Francisco Foundation. In my free time I sang with the a cappella <br /> group The Irrationals for 18 years and recorded three albums. <br /> Please explain your reasons for wanting to serve on this board <br /> I am grateful for the opportunities I was afforded and believe it is important to give back by <br /> contributing my skills and time to my community. I am from a long line of New Jersey based <br /> family who believed that community service was an obligation and blessing. Most importantly, I <br /> love the arts and believe my mission is to experience and support creativity. <br /> How would your particpation on this board contribute to the diversity of viewpoints? <br />
