Tegan Taylor was our engaging and passionate MC for the Queensland WaterAid Gala Ball. Tegan brought to the stage a presence that held the room with good humour and gravitas. Tegan did a brilliant at encouraging people to both open their hearts and wallets to support our cause of ending the water crisis for some of the poorest people around the world. Tegan was a delight to work with and added great value to our gala ball.
