Pride Planning Committee Seeks New Members To Plan June 7 Pride Event

Posted on Updated on

For some, an annual picnic in the park isn’t enough. For those people, there is the East Central Minnesota Pride (ECMP) planning committee.  If you want to take an extra step in community building, changing hearts and minds about LGBT issues, and getting involved with your neighbors has a whole, consider attending an ECMP planning committee meeting.

The planning committee does the important work of putting on one of the few rural LGBT pride events… in the (gulp) world!  East Central Minnesota is comprised of Pine, Isanti, Chisago, Kanabec and Mille Lacs counties, and the ideal planning committee would be made of of a good cross-section of members from each of the counties in the region.  The ECMP planning committee has generally had between 10 and 15 members, and has been a mix of people who identify as part of the LGBT community as well as straight allies.  To get involved, email .

Volunteering for ECMP is a great way to get involved with your local LGBT community all while having a fun and rewarding time doing it. Some of the tasks of the committee members include:  coordination, public relations, outreach, entertainment lineup, food, setup, breakdown, and fundraising throughout the year.  ECMP began in 2005 and last year celebrated its 10th anniversary.
