Jara currently serves on the following: 

“I met Jara in 2017, when I was at a pivotal moment in my personal/professional journey. In an incredibly unassuming way, Jara invited me to be fully myself in my work and gave me permission to envision a different path forward.
​
I think that is one of the gifts Jara brings to those in her orbit, the opportunity to see a future of possibility and make a paradigm shift into that future vision.”
