 tribute honoring Amy Errett for her dedicated service and visionary 
 leadership as Chairperson of GLIDE’s Board of Trustees for 22 years. Amy 
 has been a major influence in supporting GLIDE’s co-founders, Janice 
 Mirikitani and Reverend Cecil Williams, its Board and executive staff, and 
 the fiscal robustness that has helped GLIDE become a major human services 
 provider and spiritual force in this city.\n \n	In addition to the tribute 
 to Amy Errett, GLIDE welcomes new Board Chair Kaye Foster, new President 
 and CEO Karen Hanrahan, and new Lead Pastor Rev. Dr. Jay Williams, who

 take GLIDE into the future, embracing our values of unconditional love, 
 acceptance, inclusion and social justice. Honorary co-chairs include

 Susan Lowenberg and Joyce Newstat; Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom and 
 Jennifer Siebel Newsom; Eva and Bill Price; Jim and Liz Steyer; and Joyce 
 Stupski.\n\n	Over the past 50 years, Rev. Cecil Williams and Janice 
 Mirikitani, GLIDE’s Co-founders, have shown first-hand that LOVE triumphs 
 over violence and division. These are times when it is especially important 
 to affirm that LOVE overcomes divisiveness, and brings people together. 
 GLIDE believes in breaking down the barriers between all diverse 
 communities and is more determined than ever to press onward with hope and 
 love.\n\n	“We know what unconditional love and acceptance can do,” said 
 GLIDE Co-Founder and Minister of Liberation Reverend Cecil Williams. 
 “We've seen love in action for 50 years, and we're not stopping 
 now.”\n\n	“More than ever, there is moral urgency and 
 transformative power in celebrating each other and bridging our 
 differences with compassion and understanding,” said GLIDE Co-Founder 
 Janice Mirikitani. “Love always wins.”\n\n\n	Each year, the GLIDE 
 Annual Holiday Jam raises funds for GLIDE’s services, including the Daily 
 Free Meals program “Mo’s Kitchen,” which serves 750,000 free meals 
 annually to San Francisco’s most in-need individuals and families.
