The Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce Nevada (GLCCNV) has announced Tim Haughinberry as the organization’s new president beginning a three-year term effective immediately. Haughinberry stated, “I am honored to take this prestigious position for the GLCCNV to reintroduce Nevada’s advocacy for the prosperity, equality & inclusivity of our state’s LGBTQ community.” As a gay business owner, Haughinberry has been a bold voice for the LGBTQ community through Back Bar USA a beverage marketing & consulting firm working with world-renowned hospitality & beverage brands. Haughinberry is an active member of HRC & previously served on the Board of Directors of Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN). Haughinberry & Back Bar USA regularly support community initiatives including the AIDS Walk Las Vegas & Paint the Town.
Tricia Costello, Vice President of the GLCCNV concluded, “The chamber creates a platform to connect corporate partners with LGBTQ suppliers, which will in turn help grow their business. We look forward to the growth of LGBTQ businesses in Nevada & renewing this organization, which is a pillar of our diverse community.” The GLCCNV is the only local governing body that can certify a company as an LGBTQ Business Enterprise which makes it possible for businesses with gay ownership to meet the diversity requirements for companies like Caesars Entertainment, Cox, McCarran International Airport, MGM Resorts International, Wells Fargo & more. Through the work of a new leadership team, including Haughinberry at the helm, the GLCCNV will aim to create new opportunities for diversity within the Las Vegas business community.
