Meet Our Ambassadors
ETC Ambassadors are a big part of our connection to the wider Gisborne community. Our Ambassadors are prominent members of the community with a deep belief in our mission to evolve and promote performing artists. They are core donors, supporters, and evangelists. Most importantly of all, they provide meaningful insight and council on a variety of issues as needed.
