Meet the Sunday Assembly Sacramento Board

Nancy Sneed, Board Chair

In 2011, Nancy visited her first Sacramento Freethought Community event: a lecture on brain activity and out of body experiences. She recalls that the best part was the friendly reception she was given there. So, when Sunday Assembly Sacramento was launched in 2014, she was all in, volunteering as the potluck and volunteer coordinator for the five years and now as the Chairman of the Board. Nancy believes Sunday Assembly helps people find community and that makes serving on the Board worthwhile for her. "We continuously strive to make our chapter one where everyone is involved, everyone participates, everyone is valued."
