<p>San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Committee, Inc.</p>

<p>Mission Statement 
The mission of the San Francisco Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride Celebration Committee is to educate<br />
the world, commemorate our heritage, celebrate our culture, and liberate our people.</p>

<p>Financial Protocol 
No expenditure can be incurred without going through the Executive Director in advance. This includes reimbursement<br />
of expenses outside of the set guidelines. If you expect to have an expenditure, prior approval must be sought from<br />
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.</p>

<p>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<br />
a flexible approach in allowing public comment but will not tolerate personal attacks and/or indecorous behavior.</p>

<p>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.</p>
