St Louis MO GOV

During #Pride, we recognize the St. Louisans, who have fought to make our city a welcoming place for LGBTQIA people; that work continues to this day. I proudly joined advocates to sign an executive order creating an LGBTQIA Advisory Board to help make our city fairer for all.

 In a ceremony surrounded by advocates and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, Mayor Tishaura O. Jones commemorated Pride month by signing her first Executive Order of the year to establish the City’s first LGBTQIA+ Advisory Board.

“I believe that those closest to the problems are also those closest to the solutions,” said Mayor Jones. “The members of this advisory board will be tasked with collaborating, bringing together its resources, and helping my administration stay laser-focused on the issues directly affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, and to pursue meaningful policy changes.”

The nine-person advisory board will be appointed by the Mayor and is tasked with developing a report within its first year to highlight disparities still affecting the LGBTQIA+ community, as well as action steps the City can take to ensure further protections. Of the nine members, at least one must represent the transgender advocacy community; at least one must represent LGBTQIA+ health advocacy, including HIV/AIDS or gender affirming care; and one must be an LGBTQIA+ identifying City employee.

Qualified City residents are encouraged to apply via the City’s Boards and Commissions page.
