Board members are also tasked with networking and fundraising.
Each Director is also committed to making a personal donation of at least $500 and are expected to find new corporate sponsors each year with the focus on donations of at least $1,500 to over $10,000.
The Hampton Roads Pride membership will vote on the slate of nominees on September 12 6:30 p.m. at Smartmouth Brewing Company’s Norfolk location, 1309 Raleigh Avenue. Immediately following the election, the new Board will nominate and elect Pride’s 2023 officers.
