david_tillson@victoriapridesociety.org
president
David has been an important contributor to the gay Victoria community for over 15 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 6 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.

Terry is a cornerstone of The Victoria Pride Society. Having been one of the first founding members of Victoria Pride 15 years ago– we are pleased and honored to have him work in the role of Vice President. He is the go-to guy for all of our sponsors; and if you are ever enjoying a drink or two at one of our events – you can thank Terry for being the bloke to make that fun happen.

secretary / webmaster / parade co-ordinator
Landen has been on the board for 5 years, and is the resident tech guru, and administrative support for the Pride Society. When not coding for the Pride Society, organizing the agendas and minutes, or having a geek moment on his 360, Landen can be found entertaining crowds as his alter ego, the fabulous Princess of Whales, Heidi Ho.

laurissa_chapple@victoriapridesociety.org
communications / vendor co-ordinator
She is often heard long before she is seen – being the boisterous and charismatic person she is. Her experiences as a professional extend to communications, operations management; human resources and corporate training. This is Laurissa’s first “official” year with Victoria Pride – and she is eager and excited to employ her entrepreneurial sensibilities in support of her community.

heather_koop@victoriapridesociety.org
marketing co-ordinator
The Victoria Pride Society feels pretty lucky to have this award-winning designer as part of their team. As Marketing Coordinator, Heather brings to the organization 15 years of experience in branding, design, and marketing strategy with such clients as BC Ferries, Thrifty Foods, the Canadian Olympic Committee and the Government of BC. Considered a "left-brained-right-brainer", her creative skills are paired nicely with her understanding of client's needs, challenges, and limitations. Heather feels that the Victoria Pride Society is an organization that speaks to many, and now has an opportunity to visually craft its voice for all. She is also on the hunt for a first-edition “Choose Your Own Adventure #9: Who Killed Harlowe Thrombey?". She knows that this can be found online, but is dreaming of the moment she finds it in some small shack, sandwiched between 1970's cookbooks.

kids-zone / volunteer co-ordinator
Jade is excited to join the board of the Victoria Pride Society and to have the opportunity to bring her many years of circus style performance, event production and direction, and her commitment to environmental sustainability to the Festival. "Bringing circus into my everyday life has helped me create amazing connections with people and grow joyful experiences - I want to share that." Her driven focus to build community, create volunteering opportunities and commitment to "green" the festival, has drawn her to lead the Family/Kid-Zone, Leave No Trace and Volunteer Coordinator positions for this years Pride Festival. "There's an unmistakable magic that happens when you experience an event through the act of volunteering - a sense of belonging and pride - that this is 'ours'. Together we are making it happen and look at what we have created! Be Proud, be very, Very Proud!"
