Welcome...

Greetings...

from the Mayor Dear Friends: Our country certainly has come a long way in the more than 40 years since Stonewall. Here in New York, last summer’s passage of marriage equality was an especially historic triumph, and we remain determined to lead on the issues that matter most to the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community and their families. That is why, in partnership with our city’s official marketing and tourism organization, NYC & Company, we are offering LGBT wedding packages as part of NYC I Do. No place is more welcoming to all people, and all loving couples, than New York. We take great pride in this openness, and during your stay with us, we hope you take the opportunity to experience everything our great city has to offer. The views of the Manhattan skyline aboard the Staten Island Ferry are stunning, and from Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx to the thriving World Trade Center site, we are certain you will find something fun and interesting to do during your stay in the five boroughs. We hope you enjoy your time here, and look forward to welcoming you back soon! Sincerely,

Michael R. Bloomberg

from the NGLCCNY We would like to welcome you to our city, one of the most inclusive and embracing cities in North America, where our history is steeped in the social movements to advocate full acceptance for the LGBT community throughout society. Although there is no one organization that represents all LGBT people and their interests, many have their roots right here in New York, where the focus is on social- and culturalequality, political activism, and economic development. One such organization, the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce New York (NGLCCNY), wwwNGLCCNY.org, is posed to provide valuable business development opportunities, financial access and educational resources to LGBT and allied businesses in the New York Metro area. As the official Metro New York affiliate chamber, NGLCCNY is the voice of thousands of LGBT-owned businesses and actively promotes and creates supplier diversity and procurement opportunities for its growing base of corporate partners and business members. Whether you are a visitor or resident, we invite you to participate in our activities, search our Business Directory for services or products provided by LGBT and allied business and corporate members. It is through your engagement, and economic power, that we strengthen our LGBT community, one dollar at a time. Again, our members and corporate partners would like to thank you for your patronage, and welcome you to New York City! Enjoy your time.

Mayor

Derrick M. Brown Executive Director, National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce NY (www.NGLCCNY.org)
