The Gay Auckland Business Association-led Auckland Pride Festival Steering Committee is calling for people to stand for the new Auckland Pride Festival Trust. Auckland Pride Festival Trust is about to be formally set up. The Trust will operate as a governance body and is now recruiting a Festival Board of seven Trustees with experience in Business Management, Event Management, Public Relations, Marketing, Sponsorship, Legal, Financial Management, and Community Relationships. The Trustees’ key roles will be managing the various aspects of mounting a new Festival including the contracting for the services of a Festival coordinator and a Parade Coordinator to deliver the 2013 event. It's understood an annoucement from Auckland Council's events body ATEED is due in the near future. Please contact Chair Gresham Bradley by email aucklandpride@gaba.org.nz
