More than one hundred LGBTQ and ally professionals gathered for our first ever Southern States Forum to learn more about the collective power of businesses in the South. We heard from politicians, executives, seasoned D&I professionals, and pioneering ERG leaders—ultimately coming away with new skills, inspiring stories, and important connections that will help us push the needle forward in the region. We are so thankful to our sponsors, speakers, and attendees for helping show that Southern hospitality applies to everyone – no matter who you are, who you love, or where you live!
