Our Committees
Delaware Ohio Pride is powered by passionate volunteers who serve on our committees throughout the year. Each committee focuses on a different part of our mission, from planning events and building community connections to education, outreach, and spreading the word. Together, these teams help create welcoming spaces, meaningful programs, and a vibrant Pride celebration for everyone in our community.

Behind every festival stage, workshop, and rainbow flag fluttering downtown is a small crew of humans moving pieces around like chess masters of joy. Committees are where the real magic gets engineered.
