Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors

SPECTRUM is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors (up to 13 at a time). SPECTRUM’s Board of Directors has adopted a mixed model of governance.

  • Nic Brewer: Secretary
  • Tom Connelly: President
  • Hollee George
  • Catherine Harrington: Vice President 
  • Mark Hartburg
  • Luke Runstedler
  • Cris Sheridan
  • Roger Witzel: Treasurer 
  • Olivia Yu

Governance Committees
