Mayor Annise Parker
Out & Equal Workplace Advocates will honor Houston Mayor Annise Parker and Golden State Warriors President Rick Welts at its Leadership Celebration on March 14 in San Francisco.
In October, Out & Equal held its week-long Workplace Summit at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas. Because of rave reviews, the group plans to return in the next few years. Welts was among the speakers at the Dallas convention.
Now in its fifth year, the Leadership Celebration is a fundraising event that includes a hosted reception and dinner. Parker and Welts will be recognized as role models and inspirations in the movement to achieve equality in the workforce.
To attend the San Francisco event, register online.
The 2012 Workplace Summit will be in Baltimore on from Oct. 29-Nov 1.
Given that Mayor Parker signed the pledge to support same-sex marriage during this week’s U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting in Washington, D.C. and Mayor Mike Rawlings of Dallas did not, Out & Equal should hold its week-long Workplace Summit in Houston in the future and not in Dallas. Congrats to Mayor Parker!
