meet the yffn board!

click here for the YFFN Mission statement

Since its inception in 1990, the board of YFFN has been (and is)  full of diversity: gay & non-gay, female & male, geeks & artists, country mice & city mice, children of ultra-conservative homophobes & offspring of gay/lesbian people. However, we could always use even more perspective. If you are considering involvement as a general volunteer or a board member, please contact us at yffn@yffn.org.  In working together, we are continuing YFFN's service and outreach within the local LGBT community. And now, without further ado, please meet your all volunteer board of directors:

Jim is happy to finally join the board after being on the receiving side for many years of support and information from YFFN.  Jim has lived in Boise since 1992 and is a professor in the Biology Dept. at Boise State University where he serves as the faculty advisor for BGLAD.  Jim has been with his partner Steve for 6 years.  They celebrated a commitment ceremony in Boise in 1998 and hold a Civil Union License from the state of Vermont. 

Bob McDiarmid (September 2002)

Bob McDiarmid joins the YFFN board after three years as Editor of Diversity Newsmagazine, Idaho's gay and lesbian newsmagazine. He moved to Idaho with his partner, Jon, in the fall on 1999. He is our webmaster and designs all of our publications and brochures. He is also the chair of the Fund Development Committee. He brings a focused passion to the board for educating the greater community to break down stereotypes about all types of people. He is proud to be part of an organization that is forward-thinking and always looking for new ways to serve the community.

Since moving to Idaho, Kathy is busy working for a variety of not-for-profits in youth development and programming.
