Our Team

As we align with our vision to create a community of belonging, a PT&E organization-wide goal is that 100% of staff, youth, and patrons agree or strongly agree with: “I feel included and can be myself at PT&E.” To achieve this, staff draw on their cultural backgrounds and unique identities to create meaningful connections and promote inclusivity in diverse ways.
