Executive Director
My wife “Howie” and I moved to the San Geronimo Valley in 1978 after I graduated from Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois. We didn’t have a plan to live here, one day we somehow landed in the “Valley” after getting lost on the back roads of West Marin. We feel so fortunate to have raised our son Daley and our daughter Sadie here and that we both work and live in the Valley. This is truly an extrordinary community. For fun I enjoy playing basketball, skiing, golf, hiking, swimming and rooting for teams from Cleveland. I love to barbeque and make homemade pizza in our outdoor wood fired oven.

Events Programmer
I have often been called "the flyer lady", there was even a move on in the Boston area to create a bronze statue of me handing out flyers -- and a body double with fake enthusiastic flyers even appeared at a halloween party I coproduced in the 90's. Darned if those flyers weren't EVEN better than mine! I am still just as enthusiastic about the events I produce, so when you get those emails, flyers or see those posters you are hearing from a true believer. I love meeting, learning with and collaborating with community members and groups so give a shout out if you have a great idea for an event at the Community Center or if you just want to get involved in making a great thing better. I want to thank the sophisticated audiences here and those who come from afar for your overwhelming support of our arts & events program and for making the interesting artists that I love, love being here and want to keep coming back. I live with my wife "the nutrition lady" and my son "the trumpet & announcement-making boy" on the island of Sodor, so naturally I commute to work by steam train.

Nutrition Coordinator
Juggling the seemly real and the other, confusion sets in. I try not to think about the possibilities of either. My happiness is when I can just watch the show unfolding like some long forgotten play. AAHH it is- miraculous!

First 5 Family Advocates
Heloooo there! My name is Jennifer Breen Justice, but also answer to Jenny & "Oscar's Mommy." I recently started as a Parent Advocate & am also a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern. Overall, I LOVE my son, my family and friends... and all that good stuff. I aim to be a cool mom- someone who is in-between the Cosby Mom and Thirtysomething mom, but not so much like Peg Bundy from Married with Children. I'm also kinda of a nerd and love crosswords & books. I'm pleased to part of the team and community. Cheers

First 5 Family Advocates
Hi, I'm Heather Richardson, proud Valley mama to Sadie and Jacob. I absolutely love my new gig as one of the new family advocates for the First 5 program here at the Center. In a nut shell, I'm a woman of my word, I try my best, I laugh as much as possible, I'm annoyingly organized and I still eat raw tuna despite all the mercury warnings. I live in Woodacre with my man Josh and our two kids.
