City of Fresno Office of Community Affairs

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Fresno Chamber LGBTQ+ & Ally Committee Mixer at Fresno City Hall in celebration of Pride Month. 🌈

The event brought together community members, business leaders, advocates, and allies for an afternoon of networking, meaningful conversations, and connection. We were proud to partner with the Fresno Chamber of Commerce and Councilmember Annalisa Perea to support a space that celebrates diversity, promotes inclusion, and strengthens our community.

At the Office of Community Affairs, we believe that building relationships across Fresno's diverse communities is essential to advancing the One Fresno mission. Events like these help foster understanding, create opportunities for collaboration, and remind us that our differences make our city stronger.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped make this event a success. We look forward to continuing to build a more connected, welcoming, and inclusive Fresno for all.
