Together, they will share the vision, opportunities, and values that guide NGLCCNY’s mission to advance LGBTQ+, diverse, and allied economic equity and inclusion across the New York City region.
The program will provide a clear orientation to your membership benefits, including how to navigate NGLCCNY’s signature programs, recurring events, and business development resources, as well as explore the pathways to LGBTBE® certification and supplier-diversity opportunities that open doors to corporate and government contracting.
