The Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce launched with a well-attended event hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Governor Charlie Baker received the inaugural “Massachusetts LGBT Business Inclusion Award” for his signing of Executive Order 565 that added LGBT-owned businesses to the state’s supplier diversity program. Chairman and CEO of Eastern Bank Bob Rivers, President and CEO of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Michael Carson, and President and CEO of PTC Jim Heppelmann were recognized for their leadership in establishing the chamber. Chris Juliani of Boston Chair Massage, Susu Wong of Tomo360 and Brenda Loan of innerOvation were also recognized for their contributions to the Chamber’s development.
