Adora Wong

Board of Directors - Connection

Adora is a Canadian violinist and teacher. As an autistic woman, she loves dreaming up ways to help her communities become more inclusive and accessible - all over a cup of coffee with her calico, Leah, by her side.

The purpose of the Rise Board of Directors is to build and sustain a leadership support system that invests in Rise spiritually, relationally, financially.

We're currently seeking to expand the board. If you're interested in investing in Rise this way, take some time to review the expectations and then email us at hello@nowsherises.org. We are particularly interested in new members who identify as part of a marginalized identity.
