Bringing Pride to Life

Our Team

PRIDEChicago is a vibrant and dynamic volunteer-powered 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the LGBTQ+ communities of Chicago and Illinois. For more than 50 years, we have proudly produced the iconic Chicago Pride Parade — a cherished tradition that brings our community together each year.

Our organization is led by an all-volunteer Board of Directors and Advisory Board, with members who bring diverse backgrounds, expertise, and connections to support our mission and guide our work.

Thanks to the dedication and passion of these leaders and volunteers, the Chicago Pride Parade continues to inspire and unite people from all walks of life. Discover the incredible individuals who work tirelessly all year long to bring this celebration to life and make Pride possible.
