Celebrating a New Era of Leadership for Out & Equal’s Board of Directors

A previous communication did not include the election of Rustin Richburg (he/him) to the Executive Committee.

At the start of 2024, Out & Equal proudly welcomed new members to its distinguished Board of Directors and elected new Executive Committee officers.

"I’m excited and honored to welcome in a new era for our Board of Directors. As our community and movement face a unique set of challenges, I’m grateful to our Board, their commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ equity and belonging, and the expertise and leadership they bring. Together, with fresh perspectives and energy, we will continue to push forward, drive meaningful change, and show that the future of business is belonging.”
