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.
