Who You Are

LGBT+ Business Professionals, Business Entrepreneurs and Allies

Who are our members?  You are LGBT+ business professionals, business owners and allies who reside or do business in the 10-county region of the Upstate (Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee, Pickens, Spartanburg, Union).  No matter your current success, you believe a better future is possible and actively look for ways to advance your business and career while working in a safe and supportive environment.

You know your queer perspective and creativity is a unique and invaluable contributing factor to a thriving business and community, and you understand the power of joining like-minded professionals to build a better economic future for us all. In short, you want to help play a role in realizing the true economic potential of the Upstate queer business community.

As an LGBT+-allied business or professional, you know that by supporting and promoting a diverse business community, you gain benefits that go beyond the optics. You understand your business has the transformative power to contribute to a more open, diverse and inclusive society, and you embrace the possibilities of that power. You not only know intuitively that diversity is good for business, you’re ready to take action to improve your business and career through collaboration with and direct support of the LGBT+ business community – the moral argument for diversity and inclusion is weighty enough, but the positive financial impact makes this a no-brainer.
