Based on my more than 30 years in the non-profit arts world, Governor Gavin Newsom appointed me in 2022 to a four-year term on the California Arts Council. As the statewide funder of the arts, the CAC’s mission is to strengthening arts, culture, and creative expression as the tools to cultivate a better California for all.

 

As a member of the Program Policy Committee, my work has focused on funding diverse artists and arts producing organizations at various stages of growth and in a post-pandemic world, creating opportunities for statewide exchange and sharing.
