GGBA: Ready to Kick that Field Goal!
The Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA), the Nation’s first LGBT Chamber of Commerce, is reporting that 77 Certified LGBT-owned businesses registered for the National Football League’s (NFL) Business Connect Program. These businesses have registered to actively compete for contracts relating to the upcoming Super Bowl 50 to be played on Sunday, February 7, 2016, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
The GGBA made history in November 2014, when San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee announced that LGBT-owned businesses would be included in the Super Bowl 50’s Business Connect program, whose goal is to increase opportunities for minority, women, disabled veteran and LGBT-owned business enterprises to conduct Super Bowl business, and to support business growth through networking events and educational programs.
