President – Audry Farber – 13th Term
I am Audry Farber. I have been a member of CGS since 1994. I served on the board for 11 years from 2011 to 2022, the last four of those as president. I am very committed to the mission of CGS, which is why I ran again for president.
Vice-President – Dorothy Powers – 1st Term
To many of you I may seem new to CGS, but in reality, I am not. Back in 1998 when Olivia was President, Cathy Sikora was VP, Robin Paepcke was Sec., and Diane Peterson was Trea., I was the Rep at Large. I have enjoyed being back with CGS and my role as Secretary for the past two years. I look forward to being even more involved in CGS and my duties as Vice President.
It has been my privilege to serve as your treasurer for the past five years. I’ll continue to help keep CGS moving forward. My goal is to keep our organization financially strong and also to bring some new ideas to the table. Thank you for your support.
Secretary – Danielle Burns – 1st Term
I am excited to be your Secretary for 2025-2026. Penny and I joined CGS in February 2024 and we loved the 2024 programs and social events. We live less than 1000 feet south of Wisconsin in Antioch. We have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. I am a newly retired union and pension fund lawyer. I have served on other not for profit boards and am currently the president of a condo board. Please forgive me if my minutes look too formal. Old habits die hard.
It is exciting to be working with Audry, Dorothy, Wendy, and Karen. They have a wide range of talents and are totally committed to the transgender community as we face incredible pressures from our federal government.
Peace. Danielle pronouns: She/Her/Hers
Representative at Large – Karen Lynn – 7th Term
I have currently been serving as the Rep. at Large and previously as Secretary, Treasurer and Vice President for the seven years prior to this past term. I have been a member since May 2002 and involved with many of the CGS events. I again, hope to continue to serve CGS and our community.
