Auxiliary Auxiliary members are also the muscle behind Pride. Auxiliary members can serve on committees associated with the Board Members above or assisting the executive board. Nonetheless, most events require assistance for setup, breakdown, and support in running smoothly and efficiently! This is where you will shine. Additionally, there are no max amounts of auxiliary members, so we welcome all the help!
