The Nashville LGBT Chamber invites you to its annual business awards luncheon on Friday, June 5, 11 am - 1 pm, at our member, the beautiful JW Marriott Nashville .

The event includes a Who’s Who of Corporate leaders, small business owners, civic leaders, and professionals. Over 500 guests attend this high-energy event that has become known for its powerful audience, emotional acceptance speeches, and optimism among those committed to diversity, inclusion, and equity in the workplace and society.

Member tickets are $65 and non-member tickets are $85. Please consider joining the Chamber as an individual member for $150. You will be saving $20 on your membership with the purchase of your ticket!

For this year’s Pride in Business Awards, we will be offering several sponsorship opportunities. Not only will you be sponsoring the event itself, but each award category will have a distinct sponsor. Move fast if you are interested! There are only 7 sponsor opportunities and some of these are already sold.
 
For an added value over regular ticket purchases, you may also choose to host half and whole tables.
 
All of these opportunities are outlined in our Pride in Business Awards Prospectus and can be purchased on the event page .
We need your help! We have to give awards to somebody and you get to tell us who is deserving.

We are now collecting nominations for the awards. Please use the form below to nominate a company, small business, friend, co-worker, boss, spouse, peer, mentor, mentee, or yourself for an award from the LGBT Chamber.
