The self perpetuating board, initially comprised of active members of the Capital Pride Planning Committee, has expanded to include additional members, as well as a new Executive Director. The Alliance board is a working board comprised of community members who possess specific skills and expertise to ensure a seamless transition and start up of the organization.
