She has served on various executive boards and foundations in both Sonoma and Marin counties, and currently volunteers her time teaching Yoga at the Petaluma Village Network. As a member of the board at PAC, she sees her Board service as a fine opportunity to support local artists in new and different ways.
Travis’s father was in the military and Travis lived in exotic places growing up such as Guam and less exotic places like Wisconsin and Texas.
After graduating high school, Travis joined the US Army himself and was stationed in both Colorado and Alaska. After leaving the Army in 1992, he moved directly into the field of Finance. He has held many roles in the finance field working primarily for banks but considers his most rewarding work to be his current role as an independent Financial Advisor / Wealth Manager. Travis currently works with Oculus Financial in Petaluma where he happily helps select clients across the country define and realize their financial goals and dreams. Travis is not an artist but recognizes the valuable role the Petaluma Arts Center plays within the community from both a cultural and educational perspective.
Maggie moved with her partner from Los Angeles to Petaluma in early 2021 – primarily to find more time to create, but also to participate in community building around the arts. Her work with corporations, as well as volunteer roles such as the Arts and Entertainment Commission for Los Angeles’ 10th District, have inspired her passion for fostering relationships between businesses and the creative fields. She is excited to be part of the Board of the Petaluma Arts Center, and a new resident of Petaluma.
Lisa brings her community outreach, grant writing and program development skills to the PAC Board. Her creative spirit resides in her paintings and in her pursuit of world travel where an annual trip abroad might be defined by a museum show of a favorite artist.
