Board members are selected based on a wide array of professional and lived experience from fundraising and program development to activism and strategic planning.

“Seattle Pride board members are the cornerstone of our organization’s success and impact,” said Seattle Pride Executive Director Patti Hearn. “Their dedication, leadership, and diverse perspectives ensure that we can effectively advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, create inclusive events, and drive meaningful change throughout the Pacific Northwest.”
