Our vision is to provide a welcoming environment that fosters communications, community, and skill development among CBI’s LGBT+ and Ally community. We will be a resource for all employees and act as a liaison between the company and the communities we serve.
This is an entire month of celebrating our LGBTQ employees and their allies. In a series of events, we weave dignity, respect, and equality for all in the culture of our workplace and create a richer and more productive environment for everyone. We also work with other minorities that do not have an equal voice for social justice and equity.
Lighthouse Youth and Family Services is an amazing organization that created the Safe and Supported program to address the disproportionate homeless population among the LGBTQ youth. It’s a result of Hamilton County being chosen as one of two communities in the nation to lead the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s first-of-its-kind LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention Initiative. We donated personal care items, organized a fundraising event, and continue to come up with ideas to support this initiative.
The Pride ERG is committed to participating in and supporting community-based efforts to support the rights and needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
Through internal education programs, the Pride ERG aims to impact the inclusion and understanding of the LGBTQ+ community thereby improving the climate for LGBTQ+ employees.
Creating public, bold, and visible demonstrations of support for the LGBTQ+ community sends a message about the importance of an inclusive workplace to the public and for all employees.
