About this Event

In an effort to showcase our experience as LGBTQIA+ public servants, build resources for those interested in local government leadership, and show the change that we are able to effect in our communities, CivicPRIDE and ELGL are proud to sponsor “Stories of Pride”. These virtual events provide a platform to discuss our experiences, the intersectionality of our sexual, gender, and racial identities as LGBTQIA+ public servants, and how the different facets of our experience shape the way we serve. These stories may be uplifting and demonstrate community acceptance of the speaker’s identity, showcase difficulties that a speaker has faced and where they have found strength to press on, or how they’ve met challenges in their careers and communities.

Please join us for our next hour of stories with time for questions and answers with CivicPRIDE Cofounder and current Saline County, Kansas Administrator Phillip Smith-Hanes, on Wednesday, December 9th, 2020 at 8:30 PM EST / 5:30 PM PST.
