Our Team

Volusia Pride is a volunteer run organization consisting of a Board of Directors which oversees the vision, mission, and internal operations of the organization; an Executive Committee which functions as an extension of the Board of Directors and addresses the short term needs of program operations, resolves urgent matters, supports event planning, and facilitates communication with the public; and several specialized committees that handle program specific operation and planning.
