To the Members of the Long Beach LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce,
I am deeply honored to serve as your Vice President. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you for entrusting me with this vital role. I was a member of the board 20 years ago and returned to the organization in 2020. I have seen our Long Beach LGBTQ+ business community grow, change and evolve and I am excited to be a part of the organization again in its 30th anniversary year.
As your Vice President, I am excited to take on the responsibilities of overseeing the publishing and distribution of the monthly newsletter, overseeing the compiling, printing, and distribution of our annual paper directory, and supporting and assisting our new President, Ellie Dote with any initiatives that benefit YOU, our members.
I bring my experience in technology and innovation to this role, and I look forward to working closely with the membership to bring new perspectives and ideas to our initiatives. I look forward to engaging members for their feedback, suggestions, and ideas for the betterment of the organization, including accessibility needs and accommodations.
I am committed to working with the membership to continue to drive positive change for our LGBTQ+ community in Long Beach and make sure that our initiatives are inclusive and accessible for everyone.
Thank you for your trust in me, and I look forward to serving the Long Beach LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce and working alongside all of you in 2023!
