Board & Program Leads

Becca Vaughan

General Volunteer Director

Since 2025

Becca coordinates directly between directors, team leads, and volunteers to ensure the long list of necessary tasks is prioritized and completed before the parade starts. She also handles making sure everyone eats and stays hydrated. Across the festival and the event, she can typically be found shuttling volunteers from place to place.

Outside her work with Pride in Dallas, Becca volunteers with Pooch Savers Rescue, fostering dogs that need a safe, nurturing environment and helping prepare them for successful placement in their forever homes. Professionally, she works as a healthcare consultant, focused on improving processes and helping teams work more efficiently and effectively.
