Welcome to the new BluesEd directors!

The departure of Peggy and Karen had people concerned about finding replacements capable of stepping into their shows. With the emergence of the new directors, it is no longer a concern. The Fries (Jeff and Patti) and Torrez (Missy and Marcus) families have stepped up to take the reins of BluesEd, and the organization is in good hands. Both families are intimately familiar with the organization, having multiple kids involved.

Join us all in offering our thanks and support.

After 5 years at the helm of BluesEd, Peggy Pierson and Karen Porter are stepping down as directors.

Peggy and Karen have shared the privilege of acting as Co-Directors for the BluesEd program for the past 5 years. They became involved through their own kid’s participation in the program, starting out in roles of parent volunteering, and then taking on the Directors duties when it was passed to them by Doug Backer, founder of the program.

It’s safe to say BluesEd would not be the premier organization of its kind if not for Peggy and Karen. Their vision, dedication, hard work, and involvement allowed BluesEd to evolve into the respected organization it is today.

You’ll be missed.
