They have a professional background in fine arts (fiber art) and community engagement in southern Appalachia.

Vice Chair - Danielle

Passionate about inclusivity in activism, she has been able to bring fresh perspective to the event-planning aspects of the organization's activities by representing the members of the LGBTQ whose professions in entertainment are often overlooked. Danielle's spare time is spent playing video games with her girlfriend, and petting their two dogs.
Treasurer - Megan

At Large Board Member - Michael
Michael E. Mack (he/they) is a Black bisexual guy from Atlanta, Georgia serving as an At Large member. They are an adventurous cyclist and current law student at UMass Law with the intention to become a practicing civil rights/human rights law attorney. Why Bi+GA? When he realized himself as bi, he sought out this community for their support and care as he navigated his self-journey. They didn’t know many people like themself, as a Black bi guy. The resources, meetups, and activities brought everyone together as one, embracing our bi+ and queer identities with love and compassion for one another, which is very important to him. Michael still loves this group and participates on the board even though they are away from Georgia for school currently.
