Executive Board

Heather Steil

Heather Steil has served as President of the Executive Board of Singles Equality since January 2026. She is committed to the organization’s mission of educating the general public on how U.S. law and culture discriminate against singles, and advocating for the equitable treatment of this growing population. As a lifelong single and childfree woman, Heather has lived her life on her own terms and with no regrets. 

In 2025, Heather retired from the U.S. State Department after 20 adventurous years as a Foreign Service Officer. During her tenure, she was a member of the State Department’s Single in the Service affinity group, which advocated for the fair treatment of single employees. Heather lives in the Bay Area where she enjoys hiking, birding, good food, golf, and tennis.

Gordon Morris

Gordon graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1969, and then served 2 years in the U.S. Army as a communications and security officer. After working in the security industry for over 50 years, he retired at the age of 75. 

He worked in a number of companies throughout the US in the security industry in sales, marketing and engineering, with the last 25 years as CEO of Toye Corporation, an electronic access control manufacturer in Los Angeles. We sold security hardware and software to a variety of companies from small to very large.  

Gordon also worked in many corporate boards including his condominium association for seven years as treasurer and president. During his tenure, they experienced the Northridge earthquake which involved $3,000,000 dollars of repairs, and three SBA loans. Gordon is currently on the board of four non-profit corporations.

Gordon joined the board of Alternatives to Marriage Project (Atmp) in 2009, and has been on the board since then. Atmp was founded in 1998 by Marshall Miller and Dorian Solot, an unmarried couple. They incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit corporation in 2000. We changed our name to Unmarried Equality in 2013, and again to Singles Equality in 2025. Although our name has changed several times to better reflect the changing times, we have not changed our mission to stand up and support all unmarried people.

During Gordon’s rather long tenure of 17 years on the board, he has served as treasurer and board chair and is currently serving as treasurer. Although he is planning to retire from the board sometime in the future, Gordon will stay around as long as needed to help grow and support our new thriving board of directors.

Renee Garvey

Renee Garvey is an educator, advocate and lifelong champion of inclusion and respect. As a school counselor, she has dedicated her career to guiding and mentoring high school students. She is passionate about ensuring that all people are valued and respected. She feels strongly about challenging stereotypes surrounding single adults and encouraging a culture where people are appreciated for their character, contributions and accomplishments regardless of their relationship or parental status. Renee believes happiness, purpose and community comes in many forms. As a lifelong single woman, she ironically worked as a wedding gown model when she was younger. However, she was strong enough to not cave into peer pressure and actually get married since she never met “Mr. Right.” In her free time, she enjoys treasure hunting in thrift shops, zumba, travel, music, vintage fashion, cooking and helping people.
