The Mayor's Office of LGBT Affairs and Mayor's Commission on LGBT Affairs are excited to announce a groundbreaking event for Philadelphia, this year’s first Community Conversation: The LGBTQ+ State of the Union!
A first of its kind event for the city, The LGBTQ State of The Union provides an opportunity for Executive Directors and Board Presidents from Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ specific service organizations to interface directly with the community. The leadership of these organizations will deliver TED-talk style presentations on their accomplishments for the year, outline their goals for the upcoming year, and answer questions face-to-face with LGBTQ+ Philadelphians.
This is a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and get involved with LGBTQ+ issues in Philadelphia! We invite all community members to join us at the Kimmel Center- the biggest venue for a Community Conversation yet!
