"I am excited to be on the Board of Hugs and Smiles and helping to execute Tina’s long-standing vision for helping disadvantaged children and teens through exposure to the arts. Her programming can positively enrich the lives of so many children by building their self-confidence and opening their eyes to new opportunities for self-expression. My experience in producing creative fundraising art events will be one way I can help bring more attention and focus to this organization, as well as increase the bottom line through art sales and financial contributions.”
