Say Hello to Our Board Members
Victoria Ketcher
Marketing Director
I was very fortunate to find this role at The Gap Centre as the visions and values they have are very aligned with mine and I've really enjoyed bringing my marketing skills in to assist with any communications they need help with. One of the projects I have enjoyed most was helping to revive this website, and now I think it is much more reflective of the energy The Gap holds when you visit in real life! I've also learnt a lot more about the workings of a charity and being a charity trustee so I have found it really interesting.
​
When I'm not working at my day job in a marketing agency or supporting The Gap I love to eat out, spend time with my friends and family or hang out with my dog Duffy!
