Board Biographies & Statements |
| C.J. Harden: |
I am an applications programming consultant for Bank of America where I have worked since 1989. I currently serve on the Diversity Council and the Environmental Committee there.
When I first realized that I could read, it was a powerful, unforgettable moment. To this day, reading is my favorite pastime.
In my daily life I strive to be the best feminist, human rights advocate, animal rights advocate and environmentalist that I can be. These are the things that ring my heart chimes. I am awed by all that Charis has contributed to the community over the years, and I am proud to serve on the board.
