BOARD OF DIRECTORS

President: Bryan B.

Bryan is a quality assurance representative for Evonik Degussa Tippecanoe Labs, and serves on the Lafayette Human Relations Commission. He was on the founding board of directors of Pride Lafayette and was a past treasurer for the organizaiton. Many of Bryan's concerns focus on collaboration among the various LGBT organizations in the Greater Lafayette area, and the need of greater visibility for those organizations so that the LGBT individuals can be recognized as positive, valuable contributors to the greater community. His hope for this board is that the collaborative effort will: encourage more networking among the Purdue University administration and the Greater Lafayette LGBT community; foster a greater sense of unity among all minorities; and identify unique resources within the community that are available to improve education about diversity issues.

Vice President: Ashley S.

Ashley is a laser specialist at AUI, Inc. She was born and raised in the Lafayette area. Ashley was the emcee for the 1st Pride Celebration in Lafayette in 2009. She is also the Entertainment Chair for OUTfest. Ashley is always looking for new ways to entertain the crowd so stop in and see her at the new center with any ideas!

Secretary: Michael Be.

Michael has helped raise very important and needed funds as chairperson of the fundraising committee. As someone who comes from a very small rural town in northern Indiana, he knows the great importance a place like Pride Lafayette is to a community and is working with the board to further the growth of Pride for all who want to take advantage of it. Michael wants to remind everyone that Pride Lafayette is here for everyone. Please let us know if you have ideas or suggestions.
