National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce

NGLCC will celebrate 14 years of connecting the LGBT business communities with a premier gala at the 2016 NGLCC National Dinner on Friday, November 18 at the stunning National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. Each year, this signature event is dedicated to celebrating leading LGBT business owners and entrepreneurs, corporations and supplier diversity advocates, and government and community leaders.

Non-Profit Spotlight

Leslie-Lohman Museum

Art History is a key component of any community. The art is an archive of the state of the life and times of a civilized community. As early as 1969, co-founders Charles Leslie and Fritz Lohman recognized the need for gay artists to have a platform. As the Gay Community was ravaged by the AIDS crisis of the 80s, so was the Art community.
