Hello 2025!

As the Highland Lakes Equality Center enters their 8th year of existence, we look back and reflect on the challenges, victories, and the friends we made along the way.

Since our start in 2017, HLEC has worked to foster a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community. There have been some hits along the way (*cough* *cough* PANDEMIC), but we have survived.

2024 brought its own challenges with many of our board members having to step away from the organization. We are filled with gratitude for their dedication during their time serving on the board.

As a result, there were many board positions to be filled. With the incredible dedication of our board president, Sara, and her wife Kyra (Safety Officer), a new board has been brought together. This new board, made up of 11 folks, had their first meeting on January 11th, where the new members were voted in and they immediately got to work on planning for the future of the HLEC.

We are looking forward to building up this organization again and continuing to support and facilitate this community.

Come meet the new board members at our Meet the Board Game Night happening on February 22, 2025! CLICK HERE for more details and to RSVP.
