Membership Annual Renewal Period: September 20 - December 11, 2009
    All memberships in the San Francisco LGBT Pride Celebration Committee are renewable annually beginning at the Annual General Meeting on September 20, 2009, and ending on December 11, 2009, at the end of the day.
    Though you may have just submitted your application, you will still be required to renew your membership starting on September 20, 2009.
    If you were not present at the AGM, a renewal form has been mailed to you at the most current mailing address we have on file.  To update your membership records, please email us or download and print the renewal form here.
    Completed and signed renewal forms must be received at the SF Pride Offices by December 11, 2009, to avoid the termination of your member voting privileges. Duplicate renewal forms can be obtained by emailing us or by downloading the form here.

Membership Calendar and Voting Rights
    General Planning Meetings are the meetings at which voters have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights.  A member receives voting privileges at General Planning Meetings sixty days after the Membership Application is received. Below is the most current schedule of General Planning Meetings for the 2009-2010 year.

    All meetings take place the second Tuesday of each month except for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September. All meetings take place at the Pride Offices unless otherwise noted. The Pride Offices are located at 1841 Market Street, Fourth Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103 [MAP].  The entrance to our offices can be found around the corner at 30 Pearl Street.  Our offices are ADA accessible.

Membership Program Information
    The San Francisco Pride Celebration Committee is an ever-evolving member- and community-based organization. The direction of the Pride Celebration Committee is largely determined by the membership. The membership is a voting body that meets monthly with the Board of Directors to make decisions to further the mission of the Committee. By becoming a member of San Francisco Pride you will have a direct voice in shaping an event that educates and gives back to the LGBT Community.
    At our monthly meetings, the general membership can provide direct input on the event to Board Members and the Production Team as well as stay informed year round through monthly e-Newsletters and periodic e-mail updates.
    Other benefits of membership include participation in the nomination and selection of Grand Marshals, choosing the yearly theme of the Celebration and Parade as well as voting on the selection of the Board of Directors. These are just some of the ways in which you can be fully engaged with Pride and the greater LGBT Community. 
    In addition to what has been mentioned above, all members of Pride receive the following General Member Benefits:

• A ‘Welcome to Pride’ membership e-packet with information on the Pride Celebration Committee
• Voting rights after two months of membership (this includes voting for candidates for the Board of Directors, the event theme, and Community Grand Marshals)
• Your name published in our annual Pride Guide and on our website
