Thank you to our Founders, Board of Directors and Officers for volunteering their time, talents and financial support over the years.

Executive Board
Julie Hanson
Executive Director since 2020
Julie was helped by Sister Season Fund, Inc. in 2010 and soon joined the organization as a volunteer. She very quickly was honored to become a Board member. Her vision of growth with the organization is an incredibly positive one, hoping to continue with expansion of the region and resources SSF has to offer. She is always willing to answer any questions you may have in the application process, so reach out to her if you need help.
 Ryan Macauley
President since 2021 Ryan a child of a Radio City Rockette and salesman, grew up in New Jersey and Indiana. Before finding himself professionally in Tampa, FL. Ryan took a chance and accepted a job transfer to Key West on a whim knowing no one. Trying to become active and a part of the community Ryan was introduced to Julie Hanson; the President of The Sister Season Fund. She immediately recruited him as a model for the annual Fashion Show she worked to put on. Instantly he knew he fit in and wanted to join the board. Ryan looks to continue to engage with our diverse community through our social media platforms and to live our “ONE HUMAN FAMILY” motto |
 Paul Murphy
Vice President since 2021 I moved here from London in 2014. I was the 2017 King of Fantasy Fest and during my reign, I was approached by Stephen Pointer and Julie Hanson to join the Board of Sister Season Fund. I am honored to be a part of this great organization and helping my fellow hospitality workers. I have been involved in many fundraisers on this beautiful island and look forward to many years more of helping our community. |
