Vice President and Interim Treasurer

With the dynamic of the current national political landscape, I feel we have to do all we can to create safe and supportive spaces for all humans especially our youth. All of us should be allowed to be exactly who we are safely and without fear. This is a way I can contribute to that end and thus why I am serving on this board and doing all I can collectively to this end. My husband I have seven children and have made the South Sound our home for the last 24 years. I’m a master gardener with a focus on fruit trees and berry bushes with a plethora of flowers including peonies, rhodies, azaleas, hydrangeas, and every bulb, tuber and rhizome you could think of.

As an expert educator, Kameron is credited for teaching military physicians, nurses, and leaders best practices in LGBTQ+ healthcare, HIV prevention, and sexual health. Today, he leads communication and public relations activities for a global research network focused on discovering prevention and treatment strategies to end HIV and other infectious diseases. Despite having left the podium, Kameron is excited to return to the world of choral music through volunteer service and advocacy.

Once you know your strengths and discover how to use those skills in a way which helps those in your community there is no going back. To not serve , to not stand up for individuals who are marginalized has never been an option. Choosing to work with the choral members of Diverse Harmony and Fluidity is based on my desire to support these vocal artists in a quest to sing their truth. I can be found hiking , quilting and playing with my grandchildren . While I possess not one shred of musical talent , I am proud to support my wife who sings with Fluidity.
