david_tillson@victoriapridesociety.org
president
David has been an important contributor to the gay Victoria community for over 16 years. These contributions have culminated to his current role as President of The Victoria Pride Society. David has been on the Pride board for the last 7 years and is most certainly responsible for a large portion of the success that the society has found during that time. Regularly found at Hush as manager extraordinaire - David's professional savvy has translated beautifully in to providing Victoria Pride a cornerstone of celebration "know-how"...and perhaps one day; he will have the Ferris wheel he so desperately wants.
