STAFF AND ADVISORY BOARD

The Crossroads Irish-American Festival planning committee is composed of three core members. We are also greatly appreciative to our trusted festival volunteers and the numerous members of our Advisory Board.

Berkeley, an M.A. in English from San Francisco State University and a Ph.D. in English from the University of Miami. She has been producing the Crossroads Irish-American Festival since 2002.
