Hope to see you there!  It is a GREAT way to get involved!

Monthly minutes and treasurers reports can be viewed at board meetings.

Please feel free to fill out our volunteer application and share with us your specific interests but for now suffice it to say we need the following support:

Co-Pride Chairs - These individuals will host the event and run the committee meetings as well as put together committee chairs.  This is not a board position and one of you will be required to come to the monthly board meeting to report your activities.  And get any approvals on spending or additional support you need.  The board handles all budget requirements and will vote on any major spending.

The following board positions are open.  Board positions require previous experience serving on the board of a non profit or related business experience.  It is a requirement as a board member you attend the monthly board meetings and assist in recruiting committee chairs.  We are a working board, that means we are responsible for leading the organization as well as do much of the planning and organizing of Pride.  An additional requirement of board positions is to assist with fundraising events as well as take the lead and head a committee at Pride and be present for a significant portion of Pride.  We also have an annual Board In-Service which is a day long board work day and attendance is required for all sitting board members.

To apply for a board position please submit your cover letter and resume to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  so an interview with the board can be scheduled.  Please be sure to highlight your Non Profit experience in your cover letter and resume. In order to qualify you must attend a minimum of two board meetings as a non-board member.  Once you have met this requirement you will be moved on to the interview stage.
