THE BOARD
Nyree Jane Taylor
Artistic Director
I am a creator, a dreamer, a painter, a drawer, and once a dancer.
I am a worker, a thinker, and write the most cryptic of messages, and is waiting for the day GIFFS will be used as a universal language.
I AM the GSAC creative director.
I have developed skills in event management and creative workshop programming. My passion lies in the Arts as Therapy.
Tracy Lefroy
Treasurer
I am a doer, an editor, a writer. I can lift heavy things, make words and share ideas. I am a numbers person, an organiser and a painful checker of grammar.
Kerry Juhren
Secretary
Jade Stoney
Coordinator
I am a fun loving organiser of many things, children – family, community and friends. I love being creative with events, food, my home and my general life. I have a passion for bringing people together and enjoying life.
