Gratitude • Legacy Leaders

Founded as a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization, records from our early history are limited. Few photos or other records exist since participants could have been fired for self-identifying as LGBTQ+. Thankfully, our community has driven change across the nearly 40 years of Out Professionals. If you know someone who should be recognized for their efforts, please contact us.
