Tammy Ritchie
Director
I have lived and worked at Stuart Island as the Manager of “The Barge” for almost 40 years. Our fishing resort was the site of the first GPFA fundraisers up on the tennis court starting in 1986 and we have grown this little group of volunteers into a dynamic thriving Salmon Enhancement operation. I have been officially on the Board since 2007 and with a passion for fundraising and all things salmon, Gillard Pass is a natural fit. Giving back to your community is the greatest reward.
