Welcome to the Pride Professionals Newsletter!

We have had a lot of requests to keep current, previous, and prospective program participants and sponsors updated about what is happening at Pride Professionals - so we thought; what better time to start a newsletter than the start of a new year!

As we start settling into 2024, we have so many exciting things to share from last year and a lot planned for the next 12 months too, including further program expansion, alumni engagement, more events, and extra opportunities to get involved in the Pride Professionals community.
