Meet the Organizing Team
Cam
With a job in communications, Cam (he/him) loves to craft narratives, create experiences, and bring people together. When he's not running events or pulling his hair out writing statements, Cam enjoys tennis, board games, and trying new restaurants in the Seattle area.
Joan
Joan (she/her) works in healthcare, where she is passionate about inclusivity and accessibility. She loves living in the Pacific Northwest and is a mom to 2 cats and an overly affectionate pitbull.
Meredith
Meredith (she/they) loves to teach, and luckily she gets paid to do it. When she's not teaching queer theory or cultural history she finds herself organizing events, watching mindless teen dramas, and playing pop-a-shot basketball. She has imagined entire lives for the two puppies she doesn't have time to adopt.
Shae
Shae (they/them) is the CMA Group's Admin Coordinator, helping with everything from the website to event logistics. They are an avid writer, animal-lover, and queer history enthusiast - among countless other hobbies.
SeaChad (Mascot)
SeaChad (they/them) was rescued from a Kroger in Dallas, Texas on June 19 of 2019 and returned to their native Pacific Northwest after enjoying an epic pool party with CMA Group friends. They have subsequently attended nearly every CMA Group event. Well known for being ridden, inflated, and deflated, they achieved fame during the pandemic when they became the official mascot of our group.
