Elizabeth discovered SiGBA via the internet and was excited when the group decided to come down from Truckee and present their organization in Grass Valley in September of 2007. From that meeting, she volunteered to distribute the list of attendees. Then she, Jim Crowley and Jim Laasch formed a steering committee to explore the viability of having a SiGBA chapter in the foothills. She stepped up to the secretary role for the foothills and continues that responsibility in the now fully functioning Foothills Chapter of SiGBA. This year she also fills the sectary role for the SiGBA Board and is looking forward to helping to implement all the new ideas the SiGBA members and Board are developing.
