CRAIG BALDWIN
he/him
Board President
Bio:
A lifelong resident of the Olympia area, Craig has been volunteering with Pizza Klatch for over 8 years, both as a facilitator at various schools, in addition to the Board of Directors for the last few. He is extremely proud of the staff at Pizza Klatch, watching them power through challenges and improve the organization as it evolves. After coming out late in life, due in part to a lack of support, role models and resources in his own youth, he is passionate about PK's mission, and truly understands the importance of the support Pizza Klatch provides. A father of two grown children himself, Craig feels honored to be able to provide support to the LGBTQ+ youth of our community and finds great joy in continuously learning from both the staff and youth PK serves. He has worked for the State of Washington for 30 years and is currently with the Department of Revenue. He currently resides in NE Olympia with his longtime partner Greg.
