Halifax Pride is excited to announce that Frances Dadin-Alli has recently been voted Chair of the Halifax Pride Board by her fellow directors! Frances first joined the board at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and has offered her input and experience in a variety of capacities including through her role as the Programming Committee lead. Frances has been involved with Halifax Pride as a volunteer since 2013 serving as a festival volunteer. She also volunteered with Pride Toronto for three years as a Team Lead.
Frances is a Nigerian who immigrated to Halifax in 2010 to pursue post-secondary studies at Dalhousie University, earning her B.A in Gender & Women Studies with a Certificate in Disability Management. She is an entrepreneur, hairstylist, and caterer, with a passion for fine dining, hairstyling, events, and mental health awareness.
We are happy to welcome Frances into the role of Chair, and know that she will do all she can to lead and support the board and entire Halifax Pride team in our efforts to create welcoming, accessible, and safer spaces for the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
