Our Team Leader is Pam Rivard

Pam, a vocalist since birth, is one of SAI's many late bloomers, barbershop style-wise. She walked through the doors of Pacific Sound Chorus four years ago during a hiatus from Columbia Choir's Con Brio, and has been rolling in overtones ever since! Six months after joining, Pam competed with PSC Internationally in Vegas; three months later she was invited to sing in Spare Parts, Too! Quartet, where monthly gigs are the name of the game.
 

With the growing performance culture PSC is embracing, Pam's worked in a variety of capacities, most recently taking on show chair for PSC's pre-Regional April show. She is a member of PSC's music learning team, a section leader and PSC's music acquisition archivist, and is honored to have been asked to steer PSC's Management Team. In the leadership arena, the past eight years working for Weight Watcher has honed her team building skills; she mentors and provides feedback one-on-one to countless individuals on a weekly basis. A former career as an aerobic dance instructor had her leading and monitoring very large groups of individuals. Parenting three children to adulthood has given her plenty of opportunities to promote personal and professional growth, giving full support and acknowledgement to the abilities and follow-through of all. She's facilitated, mentored and been docent to a wide variety of educational groups, chaperoned many; most recently a group of 90 through Italy on a choir tour.  
 

A Seattle-ite married to a Canadian, Pam's extended family is sprinkled throughout Washington, Pennsylvania, British Columbia and Alberta. Her hobbies include square and round dancing, and participating annually with the Pacific Northwest Teen Square Dance Festival as chief scorekeeper with her very supportive husband, Marcel. Having raised two independent daughters, their son--and youngest--enters Woodinville High School in the fall.
