The 2022 AGP Board Slate
Bonnie Miller, President and Election Chair, announces the uncontested slate for our annual voting on four elected Board members.
President (Officer) – Linette Morales
I joined the Board in 2019 as At Large elect, and in the same role in 2020 coordinated the first online pop-up exhibit and the Annual Members Show. This year as Vice President, I brought fresh ideas for member engagement – “Artist Spotlight” where randomly selected exhibiting members are interviewed and highlighted in the newsletter and website, and “Up For Grabs” an AGP Facebook Group page where members may exchange art materials. I again coordinated the Annual Members Show. Previously, I was the Interim Gallery Coordinator at Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts (MCCLA) in San Francisco before joining Sanchez Art Center as the Operations Coordinator. Some contributions include Street Team for promoting arts events, Facebook Group page for participating 50|50 artists, 50|50 exhibition program (booklet), and SAC community engagement art projects. I received a BA in Studio Arts from CSU East Bay and my medium is printmaking. I illustrated a published children’s book in 2014 and received awards from Coastal Arts League and MCCLA.
Vice President (Officer) and Secretary (Officer) – Michele Trausch
I joined the Board in 2020 as an appointed AGP Liaison to the Sanchez Art Center Board. I worked on governance activities including compliance with State requirements and procuring appropriate insurance coverage, and co-led our Board governance training. This year, I continued this appointment and activities as well as being Secretary elect. I am eager to become even more involved in AGP and its mission by continuing these roles as well as Vice President. I was pro bono counsel to AGP beginning in the early 2000’s until my retirement before joining the Board. I’m an art enthusiast, volunteer at receiving for AGP exhibitions, and very much enjoy participating in the activities at the Sanchez Art Center. I also volunteer in other local community organizations.
Member at Large – Jennifer Alpaugh
I joined the Board in 2007 and have been Treasurer, Secretary, Vice President, and President. I am a studio artist at Sanchez Art Center working primarily in oil paint and cyanotype, and on the West Gallery Committee preparing AGP shows. I received a BA in Art from UCLA and an MS in Organizational Psychology leading to my career at Pacific Bell, Pacific Telesis, and AT&T as Engineer, Quality Management Trainer, and Total Quality Design Manager. I have volunteered with the Pacifica Resource Center Board, San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury, Project Read, Rotacare Clinic, Meals on Wheels, and Mizpah. I am a member of Tangerine Arts which exhibits in the SF Bay Area. My art has been published in Operation Sunflower and Talisman, the Annual Magazine of Literature and Art. Awards include: Merit Award, AGP Members Show 2015; First Place, Daly City Visual Arts Members Show, 2003; and Juror’s Award of Excellence, AGP Members Show, 2003. My botanical cyanotypes are on permanent display in the San Pedro Valley County Park Visitors Center.
