Isa S. Chu joined the Board of Directors in April of 2009. Her background includes over 10 years programming experience and 4 years of development experience for non-profit organizations. She brings a strong marketing sense along with internet social media skills.

Involved in choral music for 23 years, joining the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir was a natural fit, bringing together her love of music with her strong values of spirituality and social justice.

She hopes that by serving on the board, she will bring the Choir to the forefront of the movement for peace, joy, and love among all people - World Peace!
