We are an all-inclusive, all-embracing alliance. We proudly represent every letter and shade of the LGBTQ+ acronym and colors on the flag. LGBTQ+ is not simply a minority classification – we are the fabric of humanity and our goal for this organization is to resemble that. We embody the diversity and beauty of every community, every color, race, religion and creed. But no matter how we identify, we are advocates for equality in homeownership. When you align with us, you are an ally to all. As a recognized professional membership organization, we strive to enrich your business plans, provide you with education, advocacy and networking opportunities (both for LGBTQ+ members and Allies) and increase your business through addressing LGBTQ+ issues as a business opportunity. You are a stakeholder in our community and when we advocate change, we champion improvements that advance our mutual interests. We accept nothing less than full transparency and accountability. We welcome you to the conversation and invite you to engage, express and exercise your power; most notably the power to elect local leadership in the Chapter Program, National Leadership through the Chapter Delegate Board and organizational governance at the Annual Meeting. Inclusivity is the product of collaboration and common purpose and we believe together we can impact our communities. When you become part of The Alliance, you join our network of alliances with the nation’s leading nonprofit LGBTQ organizations and global brands, members from dozens of professions to compliment your service offerings, and a National Chapter Program which offers local resources and opportunities throughout the United States.
