Georgie has been a passionate ambassador and advocate for the rebirth of downtown San Jose, as President and founding board member of the San Jose Downtown Association, her involvement in many Civic Commissions & Boards and her current participation in Downtown SJ Rotary.

For the Art Party, since its inception in 2006, her title is HOE, Head of Everything – except the art – which she quickly explains is a big title for ensuring there are enough porta-potties.
In her own words
“I became involved with the Art Party because I just liked being around Anne and Mark, my neighbors. They liked to have meetings and talk about their creative ideas for this wacky event they were envisioning, and I liked sitting around drinking their wine. I could see, however, that they preferred the creative process whereas I— my practical self — worried about the mechanics of the event. It became a perfect union. On a personal note, I am forever grateful to Anne and Mark for including my then-13-year-old son in the first Art Party. His graffiti covered pizza boxes were gobbled up by collectors, and I believe this in itself changed his self esteem and turned him around from an adolescent-spiraling-mess to the talented young man he is today — pursuing art, music and love of the earth. Thank you Anne & Mark!!! “
