Carrollton Rainbow hit the road on January 31 to attend the OUT Georgia Business Alliance's 2024 Kickoff & Annual Meeting at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, GA. This event is the largest 2SLGBTQIA+ professional networking experience in Georgia and is held in conjunction with the celebration of the chamber's 30th anniversary year. The meeting was also an opportunity for us to experience Queer Justice, the American LGBTQ+ Museum's first traveling exhibition in collaboration with Lambda Legal.
Established in 1994, OUT Georgia (formerly the Atlanta Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce) is the voice of Georgia’s 2SLGBTQIA+ business community, proudly representing small business, nonprofit, corporate, and professional Members who are committed to economic equity, accessibility, and inclusive prosperity.
OUT Georgia was a financial sponsor of the 2023 Carrollton Pride Festival and Carrollton Rainbow joined the OUT Georgia Chamber in November 2023.
