The reports of the death of Equality California (EQCA) are greatly exaggerated, the nonprofit’s new boss tells San Diego Gay & Lesbian News.
Like Mark Twain once did, John O’Connor, who became EQCA’s executive director about six weeks ago, is dispelling rumors about the health of the organization. O’Connor, whose wide smile acknowledges that he has heard about the premature obituary, said EQCA is still relevant today.
EQCA has been in a state of flux since October 2011 when Executive Director Roland Palencia abruptly resigned just months after replacing Geoff Kors.
