| Victory Fund appoints new chair, vice chair for board | ||
| New leadership elected last month in Seattle
At its November meeting in Seattle, the board of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund elected new officers, including Brian A. Johnson of Virginia as chair and Paul W. Horning II of Atlanta as vice chair. Also chosen were Chris Ray of South Carolina as treasurer and Janine Brunjes of Texas for her second term as secretary. The Victory Fund is the nation's largest LGBT political action committee and the only organization with the sole mission of identifying, training and supporting qualified openly LGBT officials and candidates. Brian Johnson, who has served on the board since 2000 including one term as treasurer, is a retired chief financial officer of Resource Consultants, Inc., a northern Virginia-based government services provider. Johnson has an extensive history of leadership within and beyond the LGBT community. He is a member of Whitman-Walker Clinic's audit committee, a member of the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC) and Equality Virginia; he was founding co-chair of the Bridge Builders Fund, a board member and treasurer of the Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry, and past president of the American University Alumni Association. Johnson is also a former board member and treasurer of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, the nonprofit sister organization to the Victory Fund. "With vast experience in the private sector and a longstanding commitment to Victory and the LGBT community, Brian is the ideal choice to lead a revitalized board of 36 leaders from across the United States," said Chuck Wolfe, president and CEO of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Leadership Institute. Paul Horning is a senior vice president at Smith Barney in Atlanta and has served on the board of Victory Fund since 1997, including three terms as fundraising chair. He is an active member of the Atlanta LGBT leadership community, serving as a member of Project Open Hand's Atlanta advisory board, a founding member of the DNC's Gay & Lesbian Leadership Council, and a member of HRC's board of governors. Johnson and Horning succeed board co-chairs Cindy L. Abel of Atlanta and Scott Widmeyer of New York. A Victory Fund press release |
