Meet Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is more than a group of names behind Galentine’s Gala, Co.—they are the women who bring every event to life. From the very first idea to the final guest walking out the door, our board is involved in every detail. Together, we dream up concepts, secure sponsors, coordinate vendors, manage volunteers, plan logistics, promote our events, and do whatever it takes to create an experience our community will remember.
But our work doesn’t end when the event does. One of the most meaningful moments comes afterward, when we are able to deliver the funds raised to the organizations we support and see the impact our community made possible.
Morgan Bandy
Morgan is a wife, mom of three boys, and a true Enneagram 2 at heart. Raised on a large family farm in Richardsville, Kentucky, she grew up surrounded by her mother, father, and grandparents, who instilled in her a deep love for family, community, and helping others. From an early age, she was taught to love everyone, lead with kindness, and never judge someone by what you see on the surface—you never truly know what another person may be walking through. Those lessons have stayed with Morgan and are at the heart of the way she loves, serves, and gives back today. With more than a decade of experience in the wedding and event industry, alongside her full-time career in employee benefits, Morgan has a natural love for bringing people together and creating experiences with purpose. Whether she’s dreaming up the next event, supporting a cause close to her heart, or spending time with her husband, Wes, and their boys, Morgan believes in showing up for people, loving them well, and using the gifts you’ve been given to leave your community a little better than you found it.
