The Santa Monica Arts Commission, The Venice Community Trust, Women In Photography, International, Focus On AIDS and the International Photography Awards<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lucieawards.com/LucieAbout/Advisory-Board.html |title=Lucie Photography Awards Advisory Board}}</ref> are a number of the organizations that Helen either has advised or sat on the board. In 2006, Helen curated FOH, a show of photography for Ocean Front Gallery at Venice Beach, California.
 
Since 2008, she has been directing a group photography installation, An Intimate View. Seeing that her many photographer friends were reeling from the change in direction of the business of photography as well experiencing the economic slump, she organized a group project where the photographers would document their neighborhoods over the course of the year and then present the stories in the latest digital technology. The first group, GroupSC 2008, An Intimate View of Los Angeles premiered at Gallery Skart along with the opening night of the first Month of Photography, Los Angeles. The [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minarc|MINARC]] designed installation using 25 photo screens telling the stories simultaneously was critically acclaimed and invited to re-install at the international Los Angeles Art Show, in January, 2010. This would be the first time that photographers would work together as a group rather than compete against each other as they normally do. The strength of the whole as well as the talent and the passion of the group members was the essence of this successful collaboration.
 
The second year group expanded to 45 artists and a territory from Santa Ynez to San Diego and East to Palm Springs. GroupSC 2009, An Intimate View of Southern California will premiere April 3, 2010 in conjunction with opening night of Month of Photography, 2010.
