MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Phuket Pride Association is an ever-evolving member and community based organization. The direction of the Phuket Pride Association Executive Committee (Board of Directors) is largely determined by you, the membership! The membership is a voting body that meets quarterly with the Board of Directors to make decisions to further the mission of the Committee.

By becoming a member of Phuket Pride you will have a direct voice in shaping an event that educates and gives back to the GLBT Communities of Phuket. Your donation to become a member goes directly into an outreach fund that creates year round educational events for the GLBT Community – this includes print materials, speakers, films and the archiving of our history. In addition, a portion of your donation goes toward supporting the Community Partners Program – a grant-giving program that, since its inception in 1999, has awarded nearly 1,000,000 baht to local non-profits whose missions reflect that of Phuket Pride Association.

At our quarterly meetings, the general membership can provide direct input on the event to Board Members and the Phuket Pride Committee as well as stay informed year round through monthly eNewsletters and periodic e-mail updates. Other benefits of membership include your participation in the choosing of 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 GLBT Community! In addition to what has been mentioned above, all members of Pride receive the following General Member Benefits:

• A ‘Welcome to Pride' membership packet with information on the history of the organization, biographies on our board members, and copies of our annual publications

• Voting rights after two months of membership (this includes voting for the Board of Directors and the event theme)

• Your name published in our annual ‘Pride Guide' and on our website

• Invitation to the Post Pride Party for our volunteers
