Today we are very proud to introduce two new members of our expanding Humanity Project Board of Directors. We believe they each bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and ideas to our 15-year-old nonprofit organization.
Willie Fernandez is a producer on Broadway, London’s West End, major Chicago theaters as well as in South Florida. His Broadway credits include American Son, Frankie and Johnny in the Claire de Lune, The Inheritance and Mrs. Doubtfire. Willie also is former Managing Editor of the South Florida Sun Sentinel newspaper. This background of working in our community as well as in the international arts scene will offer us fresh perspectives and forge useful collaborations for the Humanity Project.
Elsa Lopez is a psychotherapist in private practice at Bayview Therapy as well as at the Source Addiction Center. A proud member of the LGBTQ community, she also serves as a volunteer therapist at SunServe. For more than 20 years before entering the mental health field, Elsa served as a corporate attorney and then as Vice President of Programming Acquisitions at DIRECTV. Again, this wide-ranging work history will help advance our mission in a variety of ways, including valuable guidance for our programs and events.
Both these new board members now strengthen our group’s passionate commitment to inspire greater respect for the goodness and inherent value of humanity. We are grateful to each of them — and we warmly welcome Elsa and Willie to our Humanity Project family!
