Why did you choose to become a member of the Mazzoni Center Board?

Inspired by my extensive involvement in the underground ballroom scene spanning over two decades, I was introduced to Mazzoni Center and witnessed the profound impact it had within the ballroom community. Recognizing the organization's reach and the support it provides, I felt compelled to join the board, eager to contribute my expertise towards elevating its outreach efforts and giving back to those who have generously supported Mazzoni Center's vital mission.
