Katie McClelland
Board Member
Katie McClelland has served on the Sound Affects board of directors since January 2025. As a 25-year Fort Collins resident, Katie owned a small software development consulting business and has been active in the volunteer community with at-risk youth. Katie has always had a passion for music and the connection it brings, and since retirement, she finds herself spending most of her time in her music studio tinkering with her synths, playing music with others, hiking, and putzing in her flower gardens. Katie’s love for music and community is what brought her to Sound Affects Music.

Callie Coberly
Board Member
Callie Coberly joined the board of Sound Affects Music after years of closely following the organization through friends involved in its work. She believes music is one of the most powerful tools we have for connection and healing. Often immersed in art, music, and creativity, she is passionate about building community and amplifying meaningful experiences.
Callie is thrilled to support an organization that turns sound into connection. When she’s not paying the bills, serving on the boards of Sound Affects Music and the Fort Collins Mural Project, or out attending art and music events, you’ll probably find her on, in, or near water with Gary, her potato gremlin sidekick (French bulldog).
