Emily Guerrero joined the board of directors of Safe Amp in August 2011. She co-chairs the Outreach Committee and helps out with Communications. She is excited about DIY culture, radical accessibility, creating a space for young artists, and being really organized. When she is not working on a Bachelor of Arts at Simon Fraser University, Emily works and plays at a local independent toy store. She lives in East Van. To contact Emily, email emily@safeamp.org.

 

 

Marita Michaelis was elected to the board of directors in April 2010. Having lived in East Vancouver all her life, she has been amazed by what our city has to offer in the realm of arts and culture, but has also witnessed the unfortunate demise of many beloved venues. She excitedly anticipates the day Safe Amp's venue opens its doors; she will probably hang out there all the time. Marita is also involved in the Purple Thistle Collective and works part-time for the Vancouver Public Library. She now co-chairs Safe Amp's Outreach Committee and acts as a Communications Officer. To contact Martia, email marita@safeamp.org.

 

 

Tom Prilesky is the newest director of the Safe Amplification Site Society.

Directors

 

Caitlin Gilroy is formerly of Organ Trail, Collapsing Opposites and Greenbelt Collective. She currently performs in Unreliable Narrator, Loose Tights and Brave Irene. Her dedication to Safe Amp comes from touring throughout the USA and seeing how many great all-ages spaces there are in places other than Vancouver. She is passionate about community, music and inclusivity. When she's not performing, recording or reading, she is probably working at her job in the organized labour movement. Caitlin is currently our Sponsorship Manager, the chair of our Fundraising Committee and the co-chair of our Grants Task Force. To contact her, email caitlin@safeamp.org.

 

 

 

Ryan McCormick has been involved in the Vancouver music community for over eight years. He is one of the founding members of the Safe Amplification Site Society and serves as the organization's Secretary and Treasurer.

When he is not busy with music, art and Safe Amp, Ryan works as a support worker at Vancouver public schools. You can contact him at ryan@safeamp.org.
