Home to the oldest gay community center in the country, the Capital Region has over 350,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people living and working in our region. With higher than average education rates and steadier income levels in Tech Valley, the Capital Region often is looked to as a test market by national companies. By joining the Pride Center Business Alliance, your business can gain exclusive visibility and access to a dedicated consumer base as well as expand your internal diversity efforts.
Join Today!
Over the past year, our Business Alliance reached over 50,000 LGBT community members through the many benefits of membership. The Business Alliance also brought together LGBT professionals for networking events, and provided on-going educational opportunities by member organizations to consumers and other businesses.
We know every business is rethinking every single dollar they spend to ensure they are making the wisest choices possible with their resources. Our Business Alliance has been expanding and gaining momentum throughout the Capital Region. With an ambitious new plan for the program, 2013 promises to take the Alliance to a whole new level!
Some highlights for the upcoming year include:
- Exciting new monthly Business Alliance networking events with hundreds of LGBT professionals
- A revamped and reformatted CommUNITY Magazine that will reach over 30,000 readers
- An expanded and dynamic new Business Alliance webpage to drive more web traffic to your site
- Expanded Business Alliance presence on all Pride Center social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, etc.)
- A special Business Alliance presence at this year’s annual Capital PRIDE Festival Celebration with over 15,000 attendees
If you have any questions regarding the Business Alliance or our upcoming networking events, please don’t hesitate to give our Business Alliance Coordinator Michael Weidrich a call at (518) 462-6138, or by email at mweidrich@capitalpridecenter.org.
We hope that you will take this opportunity to join the Pride Center Business Alliance in 2013.
