RBJ presents the 2024 Power List for LGBTQ+ Business Leaders
RBJ presents the 2024 Power List for LGBTQ+ Business Leaders
Listen to this article
The Rochester Business Journal’s Power List program continues this week with our 2024 Power List for LGBTQ+ Business Leaders.
The RBJ editorial department collaborated with members of the LGBTQ+ community to identify candidates to include on this list. Those candidates were then contacted and allowed to opt out if they did not feel comfortable being listed.
With LGBTQ+ rights under attack in some parts of the country, it has never been more important to celebrate and cultivate an open and inclusive community that makes everyone feel welcome. The people on this list have worked to create safe spaces, build connections and provide services that allow people to be their true, authentic selves.
As with our previous Power Lists, this one is presented in alphabetical order. And again, rather than tell you about all of these power players’ accomplishments and accolades, we decided to give them a chance to tell you more about themselves through their answers to a few different questions.
I welcome any feedback you have at [email protected]. You can also make suggestions for people to appear on next year’s Power List for LGBTQ+ Business Leaders or any of our future Power Lists at rbj.net/power-list-recommendation-form/.
