A Wonderful Mixer! 
 
At this past weeks mixer we saw an amazing number of guests, prospective members, and new members! We could not have had such a great turnout without the continued support of our valued chamber members. Also, a big thank you to uOwn Real Estate for hosting such an excellent Monthly Mixer!! Check out all of the great photos here and we look forward to seeing you at next month's mixer on June 5th! 



 

The 2013 NGLCC National Business & Leadership Conference will offer robust programming designed to meet the interests and needs of our corporate partners, LGBT-certified business owners and entrepreneurs, allied companies, and NGLCC affiliate chambers from around the country. 

 

Packed with educational sessions, world-class networking, and unbelievable special events, the conference will offer incredible exposure and opportunities for LGBT-owned and -allied businesses to build relationships with more than 130 corporations, federal government agencies and each other. This is one conference you-and your business-can't afford to miss!

 
"Orlando has an unexpectadly large and thriving LGBT community and some fantastic weather, making Orlando a welcoming tropical paradise all year long." -The Advocate

A great article on LGBT Orlando was published this week in the June-July edition of The Advocate. Our friend Sunnivie Brydum paints a well-balanced and compelling rationale for gay and lesbian visitors to spend time in our wonderful community.  So make sure you get your copy of the June-July edition for the full story!
