Award-winning actress and opera singer Deborah Bertling has been appointed president of the women’s board of the Community Arts Music Association.

Her extensive performance history throughout California has included dozens of plays, musicals, staged readings, concerts, feature films, and several Opera Santa Barbara productions.
