Eddie Passadoré
Chair
chair@pdxgmc.org

Eddie Passadoréis the founder and CEO of Passadoré Properties. Eddie has enjoyed a long tenure of service as treasurer and board member of the Fair Housing Council of Oregon , whose mission is to promote the Fair Housing Act and level the playing field for minorities in housing — which, not so long ago, included the gay community. During the push for marriage equality, Eddie served on the Basic Rights Oregon finance committee. As the father of two 5-year-olds, Will & Emmie (aka The Wonder Twins), he is a proud member of the growing number of gay dads pioneering new types of families in our community. Ask the Wonder Twins what Papa’s favorite tenet is, and they’ll say, “inclusion, not exclusion, is the key to survival,” a quote from Eddie’s favorite book, The Power of One. What Eddie loves most about PGMC is seeing so many rise while hearing the power of one voice.

Directors

H Dwayne Davis

H. Dwayne Davis, originally from Hemingway, SC. I moved from Wooster, OH to Portland, OR in 2000 to work at Reed College. As a past PGMC board member I served as Fund Development Chair, Vice-President and President of the Board.

In PGMC I found community and purpose. While serving the chorus as a volunteer (never a singer) I created lasting relationships that I continue to value. I also found a home for my need to give back to my community. I concur with Ed Segel, a long-time supporter of PGMC, when he says, “I am never prouder to be gay than when I listen to PGMC sing.” I was proud to represent PGMC to potential supporters of the Chorus. The importance of the mission and the quality of the music are worthy of the effort.

PGMC is a local treasure and a national leader. The work and mission of PGMC remains valid and is as important today as it was at our founding. I am honored to again serve as a member of the PGMC Board of Directors.

Most recently, he chaired the first Annual PGMC Gala in Fall of 2019. Tim is honored to have the opportunity to support the goals and mission of the Chorus through service on the PGMC Board. “From the trip to China to performing Bridge over Troubled Water with over 100 amazing people, I cannot begin to explain what PGMC has done for me. No matter what the next few years hold, they will be amazing and I am so glad to be able to support our organization through board service.” [Pronouns: he, him, his]
