Board Member Highlight - JD DiSalvatore

I joined the Board of Directors of this wonderful organization because I wanted to encourage our LGBT community here in SoCal to support local gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses - especially after the shock of learning how many companies gave money to take away our rights during the Prop 8 battle. 


As we continue to fight for our rights to marry and serve in the military, it's as important as ever to take care of our own.  


And The Chamber does so much more than just advertising our business members - there are wonderful programs for up-and-coming LGBT entrepreneurs, great educational panels for sharing a wealth of knowledge in all areas including brand building, social networking and small business issues; monthly networking mixers; business breakfasts; and the program I started - Getting To Know You - which brings LGBT non profit advocacy and support organization in SoCal to the attention of local business owners. 


See you ALL at the next mixer.
Warmly,
jd DiSalvatore
Board of Directors, LAGLCC
