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. 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 Ohlone peoples, the original inhabitants of the San Francisco peninsula.
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 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 of the board) 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
Procedures for the formulation of the member meeting Agenda: (standing rule #9) A. Every meeting of the membership shall have a written agenda B. The agenda shall consist of: a. Standing Items b. Old Business c. New Business C. Standing Items shall be items which either the general membership and/or board resolves at a prior meeting be placed upon the agenda at subsequent meetings. D. Old Business shall be items of business from previous meetings which shall not have been concluded and shall be added to the agenda by the Board President. E. New Business items shall be items not being either standing items or old business which it shall be in the purview of the membership to discuss. New business items shall be added to the agenda by the Board President, the board or by any three general members. F. Items of new business may be added to the agenda if communicated to the Board President in writing fourteen days prior to the published date of the meeting. Communication may be in the form of a letter and where an addition is being proposed by three general members each must sign a letter requesting such addition. G. No item(s) shall be added to the Agenda at the meeting.

Consensus Model for Decision Making: Standing Rule #8, All Board Meetings shall use the following consensus model for decision making:

When it appears that the group is nearing consensus or when a voting member has asked that the group move to consensus,
the facilitator shall ask:

  1. Is there any further discussion?
  2. Are there any objections? (Does anyone wish to stand aside?)
  3. Do we have consensus?

A voting member may only block consensus if s/he has an alternative suggestion. If the alternative also does not produce
consensus, another motion must be presented, or the issue must be dropped/tabled. If an individual cannot support the consensus statement but does not wish to block consensus s/he may stand aside. The objections shall be noted in the minutes. Friendly amendments can be offered (if appropriate), though the person who initiated the motion is not obligated to accept them.

If a tabled issue is still at an impasse at the following meeting, a voting member must make a motion on which the group will vote. The motion requires a simple majority to pass (unless otherwise noted in the by aws). If an issue is at an impasse and is time sensitive (i.e., it cannot be tabled to a future meeting), a voting member must make a motion on which the group will vote. The motion requires a simple majority to pass (unless otherwise noted in the bylaws).

The consensus model shall use the following ground rules:

  1. Participants should not speak out of turn. The facilitator will recognize hands in the order in which they were raised. Those who have not spoken on an issue will be given the option to do so before anyone speaks a second time.
  2. Comments should be brief, respectful, and relevant to the topic being discussed. Participants should avoid repetition and focus
    on closure.
  3. The facilitator shall put time limits on the discussion and choose a timekeeper. The time for discussion can be xtended by group consensus.
  4. Participants should accept decisions with which they can live to avoid debating minutia.
  5. When appropriate, the facilitator may call a break in the meeting to allow the person blocking consensus and the person initiating the motion to try to work out an alternative together.
  6. Everyone is equal.
  7. Derogatory personal comments are inappropriate.
  8. In groups of 20 or more, the decision-making process uses a modified form of consensus. An individual who blocks consensus must still offer an alternative. One alternative may be a suggestion to use Robert’s Rules of Order to resolve the issue under consideration. If the group (less the block) rejects the alternative, the group may then resolve to override the block for a “modified consensus minus one.” If two individuals block consensus, the standard form of consensus shall be used.

It is a good idea for someone to read these rules aloud at the beginning of a meeting, especially when new people are present. All Board members should receive training in these rules at the Board retreat.

AGENCY UPDATES

• Happy Pride Month – the organization successfully executed Pride Movie Night at Oracle Park and Black Liberation Event at AAACC. Thanks to our partners, Frameline, Giants Enterprises, and the African American Art & Culture Complex.
• Movie Night attendance was strong: Friday June 11 we had over 6500 guests, Saturday June 12 we had over 3100 guests.
• Pre-show experience at Movie Night went really great, featuring local performers and musicians – Spice Queers, Freddie, Breanna Sinclairé, and more. Friday we featured Rock M. Sakura, and Saturday showcased Bianca Del Rio, both of RuPaul’s Drag Race Fame. Friday evening we were honored to welcome the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
• Press regarding Movie Night was largely positive, garnering many stories throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
• The Black Liberation Event was also wonderful, on Friday June 18. Many talented performers were featured like DJ Jacatac, Sir Joq, Kippy Marks, DJ LadyRyan, Afrika Amerika, and Micahtron. Our gracious Mayor, London Breed, attended and made an impassioned speech to the attendees about the intersection of Black and LGBTQ liberation efforts. We are grateful to our partners at AAACC, in particular Cheri Miller, Melonie Green, and Melorra Green. • It was encouraging to me to see the many events that occurred over Pride weekend in the city, made possible by the reopening in mid-June. Events like Tenderloin Pride, the Trans March Resource Fair, People’s March, Soul of Pride activation in the Castro, and parties like the Mighty Real party and Juanita More’s party show that our communities are resourceful and resilient.
• The team had a good long weekend after June and are now deep in planning for the Annual General Membership Meeting, scheduled for September 11. Correspondence with membership regarding renewals and record dates is in progress.
• A variety of debrief sessions are underway regarding activities in June, with the goal of refining the ways in which the team works with one another as we proceed with the year’s worth of programming.
• For instance, planning is well under way for our inaugural Coming Out Day festival, tentatively titled Freedom Day Fest (inspired by the 1978 Gay Freedom Day Committee Statement). We are planning for Sunday October

  1. Our street closure permits are being submitted soon, and we hope to open exhibitor sales within the week.
    • The first-annual Awards Ceremony event, scheduled for Saturday October 9, is also being planned. We will be working with our partners at the Hilton Union Square to host an event which honors not only the Grand

Report to the Board of Directors
Executive Director – Fred Lopez – July 7, 2021 Page 2 of 2 Marshals named in June, but honorees and awardees which will be named in September by the Board. This will be a ticketed, fundraising event.
• Conversations with returning and prospective partners continue, as we have added events throughout the fall as well as our ongoing programming, SF Pride 365. Broadening our programming impact is key to developing year- round revenue.
• Our latest podcast, The Queerness, with the Twins Melonie Green and Melorra Green, was great. It was released just before the solidarity rally at AAACC. The podcast’s next guest will be another of our Community Grand Marshals, Nicole Santamaría.
• Be sure to check out our latest Community Partner Spotlight, a Q&A with Gert McMullin, the “mother of the AIDS Quilt,” who has also begun to repair our Market St rainbow flags. • The rainbow flags from Market Street need to be folded and returned to storage (and some delivered for repair.) Stay tuned for information about the “flag folding party” which takes place annually. Gary Virginia has been a consistent partner in planning & executing these parties, so thanks to Gary.
• On our video series, Inside Pride: Shannon spoke with artist Serge Gay Jr, about their recent work highlighting trans liberation, now on display in the Castro on the former Pottery Barn building.
