Membership

The San Francisco Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Pride Celebration Committee is an ever-evolving member- and community-based organization. Pride's membership assists the Board of Directors in setting the vision for the organization and the annual Celebration and Parade in addition to raising funds and conducting outreach for the organization.

Pride's membership is a voting body that meets monthly - usually on the second Tuesday of each month - with the Board of Directors to make decisions to further the mission of the organization.

About Becoming a Member

By becoming a member of San Francisco Pride you will have a direct voice in shaping an event that educates and gives back to the LGBT community.

Other benefits of membership include participation in the nomination and selection of Grand Marshals, choosing the yearly theme of the Celebration and Parade as well as voting on the selection of the Board of Directors. These are just some of the ways in which you can be fully engaged with Pride and the greater LGBT community.
