Executive Board Members
President: Keisha Smith
Keisha has been in the chorus for 3 years now, but has been involved in music her whole life. From singing in church and playing the flute, to piano recitals and high school theater, she has enjoyed immersing herself in every aspect of music. She also has a beautiful 4 year old daughter Kamaia, who keeps her on her toes, to say the least. She is becoming quite the little performer herself, often telling me to stop singing because it is her turn. She loves to read, travel, relax and spend time with friends and family. She is a lover of math, spreadsheets, analysis, and quality improvement, and has been super fortunate to be with a company (going on 11 years) that allows her to do these things every day.

Apparel Chair: Sue Weiss
Sue has been a member of the chorus since the Spring 2010 season, and has served as Apparel Chairperson since 2013. Sue enjoys her role as Apparel Chair, and loved being able to update our Christmas formal wear to our current festive look!
Sue has been a member of numerous show committees over the years, including Chairperson for the 2015 Christmas show, and has also choreographed several of our productions. Getting to be involved with the creative process is one of her favorite things about being a part of the 49ers!
When not singing with the chorus, Sue enjoys performing with other local community theater groups, and also loves to travel – especially to her “happy place” Walt Disney World!

Membership Chair: Barb Radswillas
Barb has been in the chorus for 41 years and sings 2nd Alto. She enjoys playing the piano for fun (Tina you can keep your job). One of the most challenging part of being in the chorus is memorizing all the music each semester, but she doesn’t mind. And probably the number one reason Barb has been with the chorus for so long, is the bond you develop with the people and the memories you cherish forever.
