LGBTQ+ & ALLY Committee
The Fresno Chamber offers an LGBTQ+ & Ally Committee, which operates as a subset of the Ambassador Committee. This group provides an additional space for LGBTQ+ professionals and allies to connect, support one another, and foster an inclusive business environment while continuing to participate in Ambassador initiatives and Chamber events.
The committee meets every first Wednesday of each month at 1:15 P.M.
