celebrating diverse communities
June 1, 2023 @ The Oasis | 6pm-9pm
San Francisco, CA
Celebrate, amplify, and stand up for our diverse business communities at the 2023 GGBA Power Connect
It's 2023, and now more than ever, we are fighting for the safety and longevity of our community. The Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA) is a beacon that attracts like-minded individuals and aims to equip businesses and corporations with the tools and community they need to thrive. The Bay Area's LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce, the GGBA, is focused on being a change agent to ensure members experience new connections and opportunities.
Be the catalyst and build a better business world that embraces the intersectionality of race, gender, and LGBTQ+ identities to make businesses more vital and sustainable.
GGBA’s incredibly resilient members and partners have embraced and overcome obstacles that have disrupted the business world. Now is the opportunity to design an inclusive world for our members who want to do business. This event benefits the 2023 GGBA Accelerator Program and the 2024 GGBA 50th Anniversary Celebration.
