2023 Capitol Hill Business Alliance Safety Forum

About This Grant

In May, a pulse-check survey with our community showed that safety (of the wider community, of customers, and staff) is a top-of-mind concern right now for a vast majority of GSBA?s chamber member businesses in Washington. As the State's (and nation's) largest LGBTQ+ chamber of commerce, located in the densest neighborhood of Seattle, GSBA knows that safety is a critical component to Capitol Hill's economic vitality, and that our businesses play a key role in it. As a result, GSBA and Capitol Hill Business Alliance (CHBA), our local Capitol Hill neighborhood Chamber, are planning a Safety Forum, in response to this complex and ever-present discourse around safety in our community. At this forum, GSBA will invite our Capitol Hill business community to engage with the topic of safety in a way that broadens the conversation to include actionable solutions, accessible resources, and tangible tools, featuring knowledgeable guest speakers, open Q&As, community networking, and more.
