Mission Statement The mission of the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Committee is to educate the world, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture, and liberate our people.
Financial Protocol
No expenditure can be incurred without going through the Executive Director in advance. This includes reimbursement
of expenses outside of the set guidelines. If you expect to have an expenditure, prior approval must be sought from
the Executive Director as soon as possible. Procedures exist and checks, and balances are in place to ensure that all
expenditures go through a proper approval process with the Board. All expenditures are accounted for during the annual
budgeting and audit process.
Public Comment
The public comment portion of the meeting is an opportunity for those with no say in the formulation of the agenda
(i.e., those who are not members) to speak during the meeting. Public comment is offered in a spirit of open
communication and the organization being receptive to new ideas and constructive suggestions. The Chair of the
meeting may adopt a flexible approach in allowing public comment but will not tolerate personal attacks and/or
indecorous behavior.
Land Acknowledgement Statement (as of January 28, 2021)
We at San Francisco Pride acknowledge that we are meeting on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush

If a person or group of persons disrupt a meeting and ignores two warnings given them by the Chair at that meeting,
they will be removed by the sergeant-at-arms, for the purpose of being given an opportunity to calm down. Such person

the Chair, they will be removed by the sergeant-at-arms from the meeting; not allowed to rejoin the meeting; and have
their membership of the Corporation (in the event that they are members) suspended, pending a hearing by the
Community Affairs Committee; and possible expulsion as a member.

A Sergeant-at-Arms shall be appointed at every meeting, and in default, shall be the Vice President of the organization.
