NGLCC Pride Month Program | Resilience Without Road maps: Understanding LGBTQ+ Financial Heritage and Designing What Comes Next

📅 Tuesday, June 23, 2026
⏰ 2:00–3:00 PM ET

Join the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the Greater Phoenix Equality Chamber of Commerce (GPECC), and GPECC member Cody Zindler for Resilience Without Road maps: Understanding LGBTQ+ Financial Heritage and Designing What Comes Next, a thought-provoking session exploring how history, identity, and lived experience shape our relationship with money.

This discussion will examine the unique financial realities of LGBTQ+ and allied communities, including a legacy of resilience, advocacy, and chosen-family support systems, alongside the absence of a shared financial inheritance. Attendees will explore how early money messages and cultural expectations influence present-day financial behaviors, from avoidance and uncertainty to over achievement and hyper-independence.

Through a blend of historical context and practical insight, this session will help participants recognize inherited financial patterns and begin reshaping their relationship with money with greater clarity and intention. Whether you're a business owner, professional, or ally, you'll leave with a deeper understanding of how to build a financial future that reflects authenticity, stability, and long-term empowerment.

We're especially proud to see GPECC member Cody sharing their expertise as part of this important Pride Month conversation.
