The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation
Appoints New Executive Director
September 4, 2007
The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation’s board
of directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Anthony
(Tony) Freeman as SDHDF’s new executive director, effective August
27, 2007. Tony comes to the Foundation after most recently managing
a corporate giving program and launching a new corporate foundation
serving at-risk children and youth. Before that he served as senior
pastor of MCC San Diego from 1996 to 2006.
“The board of directors is very proud that Tony
Freeman has joined the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation as our new
executive director,” said SDHDF Board President David Miles. “Tony
has a long history of leadership in our LGBT community and is widely
respected throughout San Diego. He brings a wealth of talent,
experience, and knowledge of our community that position him well to
lead SDHDF in its work to improve the quality of life in San Diego’s
LGBT community.”
Tony will be replacing Dr. Jennifer Campbell who
took a leave of absence from the board of directors to serve as
interim executive director for the past few months. Miles said, “The
board of directors is grateful to Jennifer Campbell for her
exceptional service to the Foundation. We welcome her return to the
board of directors.”
A resident of San Diego for the past 14 years,
Tony Freeman has been actively involved in the community serving on
local boards and committees ranging from alcohol and drug treatment
facilities to AIDS organizations. His service to the community has
been recognized with The Nicky’s Governor’s Award, Champion of
Pride, and “Visionary” award from the Center for his leadership in
the establishment of the LGBT homeless youth sheltering project.
The new Executive Director stated, “I was in San
Diego when the SDHDF was established and have great respect and
admiration for the founders. The staff and many volunteers have done
an excellent job of moving the founder’s vision forward. I'm excited
about working with this group of individuals, and all of our
community supporters, who share a passion to provide a better future
for the LGBT community.”
