What interests you about The Alliance?

I am interested in the role the Alliance continues to play as a space to gather tenant organizations, community groups, and leaders working toward collective community action. The pandemic showed how easily those connections can fray when  physical connection goes away. I believe maintaining community spaces like Alliance is important to foster continued connection and encourage the collaboration necessary to fight for positive change.

Why did you decide to join the Alliance Center Board?

The Alliance Center has been an amazing force for good in Denver and Colorado for many years.  As a former tenant, I realize that having a workspace was valuable, but supporting the people and organizations around it were what really mattered.  Joining the board is a chance to give back to the same community I got a great deal from.
