Program Director & Co-Founder | Second Verse Choir
Anne Rigley
Anne’s career of service began with AmeriCorps after college and continues today, focused on serving older adults and people with disabilities. For more than 20 years she’s worked as an Activities Director, Social Worker, Long-Term Care Ombudsman, and Program Director, and currently serves as a Life Enrichment Specialist with Western Care Partners. Throughout her career she has witnessed the healing power of music—an insight that continues to shape her work.
In Anne’s ideal world life would unfold like a musical, with everyone knowing the lyrics and choreography. She performs with several bands and musical projects and finds deep joy singing with others. Music has been woven into her life since her earliest memories of her mother singing and rocking her.
Anne is also a lifelong dancer and teaches at Studio iBody in Denver. She is thrilled to be launching the Second Verse Choir, a project that brings together what she’s most passionate about: music, movement, and supporting older adults—especially those affected by memory loss.

Kris Boggs
Kris has dedicated her career to supporting vulnerable people, drawing on her background in adult and child protective services as well as her extensive experience interviewing witnesses to traumatic events with care and sensitivity.
Music has been a constant thread throughout Kris’s life. A lifelong cellist, she has spent decades playing, teaching students, and performing in a community orchestra. Her love of music runs deep, shaping both her personal and professional worlds.
Kris’s passion for connection and her background in dementia care come together in her newest endeavor: cofounding a dementia-friendly choir. This project brings together the things she cares about most—music, community, and creating meaningful experiences for people living with memory loss and their care partners.
Kris is excited to help build a welcoming space where participants can sing, share, and experience the joy and comfort that music so often brings.
