a. Miss Major didn’t just change San Francisco — she changed the world.
Her legacy lives in every fight for trans liberation, especially for Black trans women, incarcerated people, and sex
workers. A participant in the Stonewall Riots, founder of the TGI Justice Project, and 2014 SF Pride Grand Marshal,
Miss Major led with fierce love and unshakable vision.
She gave our community sanctuary when we had nowhere else to turn — from the frontlines of prison abolition and
HIV/AIDS care to creating the House of GG in Arkansas for Southern trans leaders.

f. Agency Updates from Executive Director (8 mins)
-
Overview of 2025 Pride celebration. Gave over $148K in grants to local and national
organizations. Suzanne mentions, “San Francisco Pride is more important now than ever.”
There are going to be limitations in finances, but the essence and goal of the organization
remains the same. Suzanne welcomes accountability from the board and vice versa. Debt is
currently being paid, despite outstanding invoices. The support of the board is needed to help
raise $100K during the golf tournament weekend. Relationships with our sponsors are proof of
how personal and dynamic they are.
-
For the golf tournament, it is more important to come Friday night. Inviting people is
imperative. Sharing the official link online is essential. The golf tournament should become a
board event–not staff.
g. Budget & Finance Committee Update (5 mins)
-
Suzanne commented that we have Engaged several bookkeeping firms. Bicycle has been
selected. They are a queer-owned firm and they have several wrap-around services available.
They are slightly more expensive, but very worth it. Should budget discussion be proposed for
the next meeting? Suzanne will delay signing a contract until a finalized budget is approved.
Operating without a budget is not recommended, not in compliance.
-
Suzanne wants the board to feel comfortable with the budget, so she understands time is
essential to digest and review the proposed budget.
-
3 more minutes allotted.
-
Jack agrees that getting into the minutia is not important. However, other items are critical to
assess. Chris brought copies for board members elected to the budget and finance committee.
We might have to wait until December 1st to begin with Bicycle.
-

Saturday, September 12, 2026 (meeting) SF Pride Community, Friends, and Allies: At San Francisco Pride, transparency and community engagement are not just ideals; they are core to our mission. The concept of “sunshine” — openness in our operations and decision-making — is central to everything we do. In this spirit, we warmly invite you to join our public meetings throughout the year. Our Board of Directors meets monthly to oversee the organization’s strategic direction and financial health. These meetings are your opportunity to see our leadership in action and stay informed. Board meetings are generally held on the first Wednesday of each month, unless that day is the first of the month, in which case the meeting is moved to the second Wednesday to allow for a full review of the previous month’s reports. We also host quarterly Membership engagements. These gatherings are a chance for the broader community to connect, hear important updates, and engage directly with SF Pride. They often alternate between formal meetings and social events, creating different ways for you to be part of the conversation and the celebration. Your voice is vital to our organization. For the complete and most up-to-date schedule, including specific dates, times, locations, and agendas for all public meetings, please visit our membership portal: members.sfpride.org This website is your definitive source for all information regarding SF Pride membership and public participation. We believe that a stronger community is a more engaged community. We look forward to seeing you and working together to create a more equitable and celebratory world.
