BOARD OF DIRECTORS

---

 Alicia is excited to join the NorCal Outreach Project, having been active in community work since 2016. She holds a BA in Sociology and a minor in Women and Gender Studies from Sonoma State University. As a polyamorous BIPOC pansexual woman, Alicia advocates for queer youth and gender equality. Outside of activism, she enjoys reading, art, and nature. Her goal is to create a safe space for others and inspire future activists. 

 I am passionate about fostering diversity and inclusion through education. I have years of experience as a professional development coordinator, employee advocate, and received a master's in Human Resources. Deeply committed to representation, I aim to honor the strength and resilience of my closest friends in the queer community through my work. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, and spending time with my husband and two dogs. 

  I'm Jule Sanchez (she/her), member at large of the NCOP board. I have worked all of my career in human services, social work, and community organizing. Currently, I work in a local medical clinic hoping to help bridge the reproductive healthcare gap. I identify as a cis, queer, fat woman and am passionate about anti oppression and social justice work. I value civic and community engagement and education. I have fun playing pretty much any sport there is, love swimming Whiskeytown lake and continue to explore local hiking trails. 

 Nate Fairchild is an education director at the Shasta County Office of Education. Nate began with NCOP as part of a grant support team for about two years before joining the Board. In addition to the NCOP Board, he sits on the Redding Elementary School Board and is a liaison with two other nonprofit boards. Nate has passionately supported LGBTQ+ rights and opportunities for decades. Nate is a husband and father of twin girls. Bio coming soon!
