PCM Board of Directors: Farewells and a Warm Welcome

11 Board members (3 women and 8 men) pose in Barrett Hall.

We are deeply grateful to Judy Kelly and June Li for serving three consecutive three-year terms on PCM’s Board of Directors. Their dedication and support of PCM’s vision has been instrumental in positioning our school for the opportunities ahead.

She is the Founding Curator of Liu Fang Yuan, the Garden of Flowing Fragrance at The Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens. Currently, she serves on the board of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the East Asian art committee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and is a supporter of Chinese art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. June currently studies piano at PCM, with Elizabeth Babor.

Although we will miss June and Judy and their presence on the board, PCM is pleased to welcome new board member Bonnie Khang-Keating to the Building & Grounds and DEI committees.
