Jennifer (she/her) moved to Denton in 2003 to finish her BA in English at TWU. Having happily never resisted Denton's charming gravitational pull, she both raised her child here as a single parent and fell in love with a musician who is part of its unique musical tapestry. They share their home with Will's business, Denton Guitar Repair, along with their two cats, Truly Scrumptious & Nigel Niblett. A former small-business owner herself, Jennifer now works for a railroad contractor locally. Because of her passion for people and love of the arts, she has volunteered for 35 Denton, Thin Line Film Festival, and Denton Freedom House over the 20 plus years she has called this town her home. She is dedicated to building community and very proud to be a part of the work of DMAC, as well as serve on the City of Denton's Music Friendly Task Force. If you run into her on the street, she'll most definitely have a smile for you!

Matilda joined the City of Denton’s Economic Development Department in 2022. Originally from Wisconsin, Matilda moved to Texas to attend Baylor University, graduating with a degree in International Relations. She has been a Denton resident since 2021 after many long road trips up I-35 from Waco to Wisconsin finally got to her and she had to see what North Texas was all about. While primarily engaged in music and art as a consumer, she appreciates their cultural impact on Denton. Matilda joined the board in 2024 as Secretary, to help preserve the Denton identity.
