LEADERSHIP

Co-founding Board Member of OP/LYNX, the Women’s Network of Out Professionals (The Nation’s Leading Gay & Lesbian Business Network) — Initiatives were aimed at ‘lynk-ing’ community partners and lesbian-owned small businesses throughout the NYC area. Events included business panels and presentations, networking socials and cultural events and were hosted at museums & galleries, theaters, restaurants and corporate spaces including Asia Society & Museum and American Folk Art Museum.

“I believe that all great art holds the power to dissolve things: time, distance, difference, injustice, alienation, despair. I believe that all great art holds the power to mend things: join, comfort, inspire hope in fellowship, reconcile us to our selves.”
