VIRTUAL LGBTQ OPPORTUNITY FAIR

On July 30, 2020 Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms hosted the first-ever Mayor’s Virtual LGBTQ Opportunity Fair. With over 800 people in attendance, this historic initiative leveraged the combined power of government, the corporate sector and local non-profits to ensure that LGBTQ Atlantans had access to meaningful employment and vital resources.

The virtual opportunity fair featured live video interviews with some of Atlanta’s foremost pro-equality employers, as well as complimentary resume building services and resources specific to the needs of the LGBTQ community. The event was open to all.
