We're delighted to announce our partnership with the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) to certify 100 LGBT+ businesses. Thanks to generous support from JPMorgan Chase’s Office of LGBT+ Affairs, we are sponsoring local affiliate LGBT chamber memberships and certification fees, distributed through the NGLCC.

Becoming a certified LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) can unlock doors to exciting opportunities. This initiative operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, with participating businesses carefully selected by NGLCC to ensure approved certification.

Historic News Alert! @salgbtchamber

We are thrilled to announce a monumental step forward for inclusivity in San Antonio! Today, the Mayor of San Antonio and City Council have voted to formally create The LGBTQ+ Commission, marking a historic moment for our vibrant city!

As the 7th largest city in the nation, San Antonio is sending a powerful message of acceptance and support to all, especially those considering doing business or relocating to our beautiful city.

LGBT Commissions in cities across the country have proven to be instrumental in promoting unity and celebrating diversity, and now San Antonio joins this inspiring movement! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the members of the Mayor’s LGBTQ Advisory Committee, the City’s Department of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and the Community Health Committee Members for their tireless efforts leading us to this pivotal moment.

Check off another outstanding successful #dwsa2024!
Over 250 events that showcased our community's talents were finished. These e events composed of symposiums, panel discussions and debates to film screenings, concerts, and art exhibits. DreamWeek celebrates our humanity by creating environments for civil and civic engagement while embracing ideas & dreams for the common good.
The Mayor's Dream Ball was held at the Boeing Center at Tech Port on Saturday night. As the official fundraising event for DreamWeek, this occasion culminated the end of yet another spectacular series that featured local talent within the musical, theatrical, comedic, and cultural spaces.
We were honored to have received inspiration from Mayor Ron Nirenberg and the incredible community leaders in San Antonio. We must continue to leverage our platforms to support one another during this ambiguous time.
Thank you Shokare Nakpodia and his amazing team for your leadership and commitment to the community of San Antonio and its surrounding neighbors. It will be difficult to forget the wonderful experience that you and your team gave us on Saturday night.
