COMMUNITY ASKS -- WHY ARE THERE ONLY WHITE PEOPLE ON EUGENE PRIDE'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

A number of local LGBTQ community members have raised concerns about the composition of Eugene Pride's board of directors, asking why there are no people of color included in the board's membership.

Eugene Pride had a volunteer social media manager (a former Eugene Human Rights Commissioner) who was working on this issue, via efforts to recruit people of color and transgender community members to serve on Pride's board. He was fired after raising questions about bias and discrimination by the current board.

According to long-time Pride volunteers, the Eugene Pride committee held elections in past years for its board of directors, with efforts made to reach out to underrepresented groups and encourage them to run for the board. But the current practice is for the board to appoint only people they personally know to its ranks, instead of allowing candidates to run for board office. For at least the past three years, those board appointments have gone only to white people.
