Are you an LGBTQ+ leader in your community and want to expand your leadership and activism? Join LGBTQ+ Victory Institute for our FREE half-day LGBTQ+ Public Leadership Summit. Our program guides participants on the initial steps of running for office and channeling their political power. With the support of local LGBTQ+ Elected Officials and organizational partners, the Summit is a first step for LGBTQ+ people who may want to run for office or help other LGBTQ+ people become political leaders.

Participants walk away with a strong understanding of how to take the first steps to run for office, gain exposure to LGBTQ+ leadership in-action, and make connections to other local LGBTQ+ leaders, including conversations with local LGBTQ+ Elected Officials.
