For over 30 years, Pride Houston has worked at the heart of the local GLBT community to increase awareness and equality in our city. Our initial goals of strengthening equality, building a stronger community and increasing public awareness of our causes still reside at the core of our mission.

As we've made progress to these ends, that mission has expanded to include a variety of new initiatives. Ranging from annual charity events to aiding support and counseling networks, our activities continue to promote social awareness and enrich the diversity that helps our community thrive.

The Pride organization consists of a number of groups and individuals who work together to produce, manage, and promote the many events hosted by Pride.

Pride Houston is guided by a Board of Directors that oversees financial planning and legal operations for our organization. The Board manages annual events such as the Pride Festival and Parade.

Working directly with the Board is the Pride Production Team. Staffed by a group of dedicated individuals from our community, this team facilitates operations at the Pride Houston office and coordinates the functions of our volunteer force.

Our volunteer members are the fuel that makes almost every branch of our work possible. The volunteer force works with sponsors to acquire advertising and other promotional opportunities, staffs all of our outreach operations, and drives the majority of operations at our large events.

Last but not least, Pride Houston's functions and services are supported by the generosity of our sponsors. Supplies and financial donations help our organization survive. Comprised of local businesses and individuals, our sponsors' constant support and willingness to promote our causes are integral to our survival.
