Mark Morales was recently appointed President of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (LAGLCC). As President, he aims to grow the Chamber's membership by 20% and certify members that would benefit. Certification is important as it allows members to do business with larger corporations through the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. Morales has experience connecting large companies to LGBT suppliers and wants to strengthen these relationships at the local level to expand nationally. He is an energetic networker who helps Chamber members make useful connections to support one another's businesses.
