Dear GGBA members and friends:

Thank you for your continued support of the Golden Gate Business Association. As we celebrate our thirty-sixth year of being the first LGBT Chamber of Commerce, your personal involvement has never been more important. By being an active member of GGBA, you support the growth of LGBT businesses as well as those that are supportive of our mission.

So how do you maximize your membership investment? Certainly attending our monthly Make Contacts is a great place to start. Mingle and network to learn more about other members’ businesses while promoting your own! Want to take your networking to another level? Then join one of our Business Exchange Networks where you can expand your business contacts and swap referrals with a more intimate group of colleagues.

Every GGBA member should be taking advantage of the effective advertising opportunities available in the Pride Pages business directory. This handy book goes to over 35,000 homes and businesses in the Bay Area and continues to be a resource for the LGBT community. Our new “Talk of the Town” Speaker Series as well as our Member Success Workshop, done in partnership with Sterck Kulik O’Neill Accounting Group can help you to improve your business as well as help you to stay motivated and focused.

Our ever-popular Pride Business Expo is the ideal place to showcase your business to over 750 attendees from all over the bay area. Another way to increase your involvement in GGBA is to volunteer to serve on one of our committees. Whether you’re interested in helping to plan our Annual Event, working at our SF Pride booth or serving on our Policy & Advocacy committee, your participation is always welcome.

Your feedback is not only welcome, but encouraged because this is your chamber, and we’re here to serve your and your business.

Sincerely,

Tony Moraga
