MAKE PLANS FOR THE
PROGRESS AWARDS BY PAUL MASTERSON Since 2015, the Shepherd Express LGBTQ Progress Awards have recognized LGBTQ and allied individuals, organizations and businesses for their significant contributions to the progress of the LGBTQ community in its struggle for equality. This year, a committee comprised of Shepherd Express staff and LGBTQ community members, including previous award recipients, chose eight awardees from a field of several dozen nominees. That list of deserving contenders reflects decades of cumulative (and often unsung) activism, leadership and commitment to the betterment of the Milwaukee’s LGBTQ community, and, by extension, the greater community at large. This year’s Progress Awards ceremony, presented by Cream City Foundation, is now scheduled for Thursday, Dec. 3, at The Pfister Hotel.
