Our Team
Vivienne Deane
I have extensive management and leadership experience in the Social, Health and Disability Sectors, bringing over 30 years to our diverse community. I love my roles at home, work and in the community.
I have served on the board for over 5 years. I am committed to supporting inclusion and acceptance. I aim to foster positive connections, promote PRIDE and celebrate diversity in Kirikiriroa.
Chair (I am ME!)
David Tasker
Active in our community and not only with Pride but also producing drag events around the Waikato region such as the MX Mooloo drag pageant, the Te Awamutu Rose Ball, and the Matangi Halloween Extravaganza. I volunteer for Hamilton Pride, helping with applying for funding grants, creating budgets for our events, and submitting all the financial information to the NZ companies.
AKA Piper Blaster
Treasurer (he/him/they/them)
Over the past few years, my life was put on hold while I underwent extensive surgery.
I previously worked in the disability sector, where I developed a strong passion for inclusion. I believe that no matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, your ethnicity, or your sexuality, we all deserve the same courtesy and respect.
I am a keen team player and will support Hamilton Pride in any way I can.
