Friends---
Despite recent executive actions targeting the LGBTQ+ community, NGPA remains steadfast in its mission to support and celebrate all of us. No policy or rhetoric can erase the progress we’ve made or force us back into hiding—we are stronger than that. No matter your identity or expression, your experiences and contributions are an integral part of NGPA’s DNA. Our commitment to amplifying diverse voices and celebrating the entire LGBTQ+ aviation community remains unwavering.
Here are just a few examples of what we’re doing to support and uplift all members of our community, including:
- Hosting the aviation industry’s only inclusion summit, an annual seminar featuring sessions and topics on areas impacting our community.
- Publishing stories of gender diversity in NGPA publications, amplifying our member’s voices to readers in excess of 10,000+ on a monthly & quarterly basis.
- Strategic partnerships that provide resources and visibility for our most vulnerable community members.
- Utilizing NGPA’s influence to champion meaningful improvements across the aviation industry.
Our diverse membership represents the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, encompassing a range of identities, beliefs, and perspectives. Now is the time to take advantage of our collective strength. You can get involved in a number of ways: join an NGPA committee, play an active role in your local chapter, report incidents of discrimination using our Reporting Tool, or perhaps most importantly, have tough conversations with your fellow community members. I am confident we will persevere by working together, supporting one another, and avoiding divisions that weaken our collective strength.
With Pride,
Justin
