A "gala queen" is typically a title given to a young woman who is chosen to represent a community or organization during a formal event, often called a gala. This role usually involves participating in various activities, such as parades, charity events, and community service, while promoting the values and goals of the organization she represents. The selection process for a gala queen often includes interviews, public speaking, and sometimes fundraising efforts. The title is often associated with events like beauty pageants or fundraising galas, where the gala queen serves as a role model and ambassador for her community.
