Special Guest Speaker - State Rep. Jessica Gonzalez

Rep. Gonzalez represents District 104 in the Texas Legislature. Representative González serves as the Vice-Chair of the Texas House LGBTQ Caucus and the Vice-Chair of NHCSL’s Human and Civil Rights Task Force. She has dedicated her time in the Texas House of Representatives to reforming the criminal justice system, expanding voting rights, and fighting for affordable housing.

Rep. Gonzalez will share more information about proposed legislation focused on a comprehensive non-discrimination bill that will protect LGBTQ people and their families in employment, housing, and access to public accommodations across the State of Texas. Find out how you as an individual or your business or organization can effectively advocate for the passage of this much-needed legislation.  Read more about Rep. Gonalez at https://house.texas.gov/members/member-page/?district=104.

The event will include speed networking to give participants an opportunity to create connections "across cities" and through the network of Texas LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce. Check out these tips below to help you kick your speed networking in high gear.

Two people will virtually meet in a breakout room and will rotate every 5 minutes. Easy! So get that elevator speech ready! Create your "Virtual Zoom" business card through one of the many digital business card apps on the market (hint: google digital business card) or create your "paper version" and hold it up so others can snap a picture and quickly capture your contact info. 

We look forward to seeing you!

The Texas LGBTQ Chambers of Commerce is a coalition of the Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Greater Houston LGBT Chamber of Commerce, North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce, and San Antonio LGBT Chamber of Commerce. We work to achieve equality and inclusion by promoting economic vitality in our communities and strengthening LGBT and ally businesses.
