I was the founding chair of Western States Center, starting in 1986 to serve with a stellar steering committee and board. The real story, however, is how that fledgling organization learned to challenge the Right Wing's initiatives against civil rights, especially with respect to the LGBT community.

I was a participant in the WILD class of 2004. This was one of the most important and influential leadership development experiences I've had in my life. I developed a strong foundation for community organizing and connecting issues and actions around marginalized communiites. I met lifelong friends and began moving through the world with a stronger sense of self and empowerment.

I have spent considerable time with Western States Center staff through my years as an organizer for social justice. I am always impressed by their preparedness whether it’s a site visit or a jam-packed three day training. The one thing that I truly respect about The Center is that they genuinely care about building organizations from within and giving them the tools they need to succeed.
