The Pride Business Awards recognize those who have made outstanding contributions
the LGBT business community. The GGBA seeks ongoing nominations for these awards
and encourages community members to submit their recommendations. In addition, winners
will be given strong consideration when the GGBA is asked to provide nominations
for other business awards.
These awards reflect the recipients’ dedication to maintaining a high standard
of business practices, advocating on behalf of LGBT & business related issues and
involvement within the LGBT business community. The awards are presented in five
categories and are presented during GGBA’s annual event.
The 2010 Pride Business Awardees will be announced on November 11, 2010.
