Welcome New Pride Staff: Jen and Natasha
In my nearly seven years at Pride, I have seen some incredibly dedicated, skillful, and brilliant community leaders serve this organization in a variety of roles: as board members, staff, and volunteers. Each brings a unique perspective and vision that elevates how we serve our community. Our newest Pride Family members are no exception to that. Please welcome to the family Natasha Anderson and Jen LaBarbera.
Natasha will serve our Pride’s Operations Manager as she oversees the organization ’s day-to-day workings, keeping our programs on track and on budget. She brings with her a background in event planning, a passion for arts and culture, and an eye for policy.
Jen is serving in a new position at Pride—Education and Advocacy Manager—where she will oversee Pride’s extensive youth, community partner, voter engagement, and education programs. Jen’s background as a historian, educator, and organizer make her uniquely qualified for this new role.
Both of these exceptional women have their hearts and minds securely pinned to serving the LGBTQ community through the lens of intersectional social justice. Both are graduates from The Center’s YPC Academy. I hope you will join me in welcoming them to the Pride Family.
You can learn more about them and the rest of our team here on our website.
