Ross Llewallyn

Treasurer

Ross works as a software engineer and has managed several multi-disciplinary teams. He enjoys asking questions, communicating, gaming, and learning. Don't get him started talking about podcasts, though.

Ross is very interested in creating positive secular community, of which he believes SAA is an important part.

Detail-oriented perhaps to a fault, he makes a great treasurer and keeper of many technical aspects of our community infrastructure.

Jessale Lewis

Board Member

Jessale was born up north in Flint, MI. This retired Marine is currently spending his days working in IT. He has always gaming, and loves improving his knowledge of music.

Jessale became secular as a young teen, but was unaware of the secular communities until much later. Since discovering secular societies Jessale has been eager to be a part of sharing and welcoming all who seeks secular/like-minded groups. The Sunday Assembly Atlanta band has been a great experience for Jessale since 2017. Currently Jessale fills instrumental needs as keyboardist, guitarist, and drummer as needed.

Jessale has accepted a leadership position in the hopes of aiding and spreading the message of SAA.
