The Stonewall inn gives Back Initiative and LA Pride partner to discuss what corporations should be doing for the LGBTQ community.

March 8, Los Angeles, CA- LA Pride and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative joined forces to take a deep dive into what corporations are doing for the LGBTQ+ community. Senior executives from some of America’s top businesses participated in the panel discussion and revealed what their companies are doing to further LGBTQ+ rights, equity and visibility, and how businesses can strengthen their support through corporate responsibility.

CSW Board of Directors President, Sharon-Franklin Brown, and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative CEO, Stacy Lentz gave opening remarks before launching into a lively panel discussion with executives working in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion from JetBlue, Mastercard, Nike, Nationwide, Unilever, T-Mobile, the Milwaukee Bucks, and Entercom.

During the discussion, the panels guests shared their company’s best practices and strategies for supporting their LGBTQ+ communities and employees: from hiring, to sensitivity training, to investment in the community, to internally supporting their own employee resource groups and business resource groups.

How can Pride organizations partner with sponsors to make a meaningful change in the culture? How can corporate sponsorship dollars have local community impact? Pride organizations, corporate sponsors, and anyone interested in learning what businesses are doing to support and lift the LGBTQ+ community will want to watch this meaningful discussion.
