Our History
Founder Ernestine Fu at |
Visual Arts and Music for Society (VAMS) International was established in 2006. VAMS started out small; it began when Ernestine Fu co-founded its first local chapter at North Hollywood High School and became the club’s president, directing its activities and commitments. She notes, "The challenges of management helped me hone my skills as a leader and, in spite of all of the responsibilities, I became infused with a compassion and understanding of the underprivileged in the 'forgotten' part of society." She decided to focus her efforts on building the organization and establishing other VAMS chapters. |
