Board Treasurer
Jim Brown
Jim Brown has been working in the nonprofit sector since 2004, when he left his tech career to follow his passion to support creative self-expression. He has served as Executive Director of The 418 Project and The Diversity Center, as Program Officer at Community Foundation Santa Cruz County, and as Grants Manager, Deputy Director, and now Executive Director of Arts Council Santa Cruz County.
Jim believes the arts are essential for our growth as individuals and as a society. He comes to this work through dance and poetry, his personal modes of creative self-expression. He was one of the founders of our local Dance Church in 2000, now called Dance Circle, where you will often find him on Sunday mornings at TWDCC.
Jim has three children (Serenity, Andrew, and Nate) whom he adopted through the foster system in 2012. In addition to parenting and dancing, Jim loves to hike and read fantasy and science fiction novels.
