Pride Month, Controller Galperin

To commemorate Pride Month, Controller Galperin is hosting a discussion in his “Conversations with the Controller” series featuring civic, business and nonprofit leaders in the LGBTQ+ community. Participants include:
• Michaela Mendelsohn, Founder, Trans Can Work and CEO, Pollo West Corp.
• Marquita Thomas, Executive Director, Los Angeles LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce
• Lisa Middleton, Mayor Pro Tem, City of Palm Springs
Scheduled for June 24, the event will highlight how the different sectors have worked to uplift LGBTQ+ employees and eliminate barriers to advancement, while also recognizing the important and practical work that remains to be done.

“The workplace has been different this past year, but still incredibly challenges for many in the LGBTQ+ community,” said Controller Galperin. “While we’ve certainly made progress in building more inclusive job environments, there is still so much work to do. Please join me on June 24 and invite your friends, family, peers and colleagues to participate in this important discussion.”
