John:

We are thrilled to share truly exciting news: President Joe Biden will join us at this year’s International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference.

At a time when representation and visibility matter more than ever, welcoming a former President who has championed LGBTQ+ inclusion is both an honor and a powerful reflection of the impact our community continues to make in public service.

Under President Biden’s leadership, our country didn’t just inch forward—we leapt forward. We made history. We expanded representation. And we pushed equality into places it had never reached before. Fifteen percent of the administration was LGBTQ+. More openly LGBTQ+ Cabinet-level leaders. Our first transgender Assistant Secretary. More LGBTQ+ judges have been confirmed than in any previous administration. That is lasting, structural change.

President Biden will receive the Chris Abele Impact Award on Dec. 5, recognizing his transformative leadership in building the most LGBTQ+ inclusive administration in American history and his commitment to ensuring our government reflects the diversity of the people it serves.

This conference has always been a space where groundbreaking leaders convene, exchange ideas, and shape the future of LGBTQ+ public leadership. President Biden’s participation underscores the significance of this moment for our movement, our democracy, and our shared work ahead.

There is still time to join us for this historic event. Get your tickets now before they’re gone!

We look forward to seeing you soon for an inspiring and historic gathering.

With appreciation,

Evan Low
