50 YEARS OF GGBA
It's time to pop the confetti and raise your glasses high! In 2024 the Golden Gate Business Association (GGBA) is marking a milestone that's as impressive as the Golden Gate Bridge itself — we're commemorating our 50th Anniversary at Power Connect 2024! That's half a century of being the loud and proud voice of the LGBTQ+ business community in the San Francisco Bay Area half a century of blazing trails and breaking barriers.
Today we're not just honoring our past but we're also enthusiastically looking toward the future. At Power Connect 2024 we will be honoring the legacy of our forebears while also paving the way for the next generation of LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. We will be celebrating the successes of our members reminiscing about the milestones we have achieved together and planning for the brilliant and bold ventures yet to come.
This year's gala will be honored with a special guest Carson Kressley! So come join us as we kick off this festive occasion. Let's celebrate 50 years of resilience 50 years of strength 50 years of unity and 50 years of unwavering pride in who we are. Together let's toast to the Golden Gate Business Association's past present and the glorious journey that lies ahead.
