About the Program:
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. The program ends with a reception for program participants, organizational partners, and LGBTQ+ Elected Officials to build community after the formal programming ends.
Our Summits go throughout the country to focus on building strong LGBTQ+ leadership in low-LGBTQ+ representation states and communities with strong LGBTQ+ leadership.
