Marriott Copley Place | Boston | May 2, 2019
More than 1,000 LGBTQA attendees gathered with reps from more than 50 exhibiting companies at Boston Spirit’s 2019 Executive Networking Night. US Congressman David Cicilline (Rhode Island), who tried valiantly to catch a plane from DC on a stormy night that blocked flights up and down the eastern seacoast, delivered his remarks live via broadcast onto a big screen behind the podium. Citing the civil rights background of his colleague US Congressman John Lewis (Georgia) and Lewis’s support for LGBT-rights legislation, he delivered an inspiring message in dark times. In addition to Congressman Cicilline, there were several professional and personal development sessions tailored for LGBTQ professionals.
