Letter from Our Executive Director

Martha Harvey

2020 is the Pride Center’s 50th Anniversary! All year long we will be celebrating this incredible milestone.

As we enter into the year that marks the Golden Anniversary of the Pride Center of the Capital Region, there is no better time to remember all of the amazing people who have given so much over these past 50 years to this very special organization. When you break it all down, that is what the Pride Center really is… People. It’s not a building, or a mission statement, or a specific program, or service - it’s all of us in the LGBTQ community. It’s all of us who have volunteered to facilitate a group, or help plan the annual parade & festival, or served as a board director, or made a donation.

Whatever your connection is to the Pride Center, your unique story is integral to the past, the present, and the future of the Pride Center. Times will change as they always do, new challenges will arise, the names and the faces will change - but one thing will remain constant and that is the simple fact that we are stronger together. If we can strive to work to lift each other up then we can overcome all obstacles.

Join us as we honor the past and celebrate the future. Together.

With love and persistence,

Martha
