🌟 This Month’s Spotlight: Representation Matters

Have You Ever Considered a City or County Board or Commission?

Representation matters, and now more than ever, we need your voice at the table! The Chamber is actively working to ensure LGBTQ+ and Allied representation in local city and county boards and commissions.

At this month’s breakfast, hear from our special guests:


Scout Odegaard (she/her), Houston Director of Boards and Commissions	Daniel Santamaria (he/him), Harris County Director of Boards and Commission

Learn about:

What is a board or commission and how you can get involved.
Available opportunities on City of Houston and Harris County boards/commissions.
The application process and how you can make an impact in the community.

About City of Houston Boards & Commissions

The City of Houston Boards & Commissions engages residents of the City of Houston to volunteer their time and expertise for the benefit of the community by serving on a board or commission.

SHOW YOUR PRIDE CAMPAIGN PHOTO SHOOT 📸

As part of the April 3rd Thursday Breakfast, we'll also be hosting a Show Your Pride Photo Shoot! This year’s Show Your Pride campaign is more important than ever.

New Year! New Backdrop!

The 2025 Show Your Pride (SYP) campaign marks the third consecutive year of this powerful visibility initiative, proudly co-created by the Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce and Soneja Creative.

What began as a shared vision has grown into a powerful rallying call, encouraging businesses, organizations, and individuals to stand in visible solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community through a meaningful and inspiring photography visibility campaign.

Learn more about the Photo Shoot here. You must be registered for the 3rd Thursday Breakfast to participate in the photo shoot.
