Office Team

Executive Director: Lindsey Jones (e-mail Lindsey)
Lindsey moved to San Francisco from Tucson, Arizona four years ago to head up AIDS Walk San Francisco, a $3 million dollar AIDS fundraising event. In Tucson she worked in AIDS fundraising, produced large-scale outdoor events, coordinated political campaigns and worked on behalf of rights for women and children. After leaving Arizona she first took a temporary assignment coordinating logistics for AIDS Walk Los Angeles. She is delighted to be a member of the SF LGBT Pride Team working on behalf of our collective local and global LGBT rights.

Community Mobilization Specialist & Volunteer Coordinator: Brendan Behan (e-mail Brendan)
A native of San Diego, Brendan relocated to San Francisco in 2005 to work with the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee. In 2003 Brendan received his B.A. from Claremont McKenna College in Chicana/o Studies with an emphasis in history and a minor in Gender Studies. Brendan gained his first experience in community organizing through his involvement in several collegiate anti-war organizations at the planning level, including with the Claremont, California-based five-college Peace Coalition and on his own campus with Students for Peace and Justice.

Having studied at the Universidad de la Habana, Cuba, in 2002 and completed his undergraduate education in 2003, Brendan returned to San Diego with a commitment to community organizing and devoted a good deal of time to cross-border activism relating to neoliberalism, indigenous rights, and the environment. Working with groups such as the San Diego support committee to the Tijuana-based Frente Zapatista de Liberación Nacional and helping to organize bi-national clean-ups of the ecologically sensitive Tijuana Estuary, Brendan continued to deepen his involvement in grassroots organizing. Brendan has welcomed the opportunity to apply these experiences to the struggle for queer rights with the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee.
