Community center continues reorganization

Community center continues reorganization

The board of directors of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore and Central MD (GLCCB) on July 23 signed a contract to engage attorney Mark Scurti to help reorganize debts incurred over the past decade. “After a careful internal review, the Board has decided this is an important next step to address the organization’s financial health,” said board president Bud Beehler. “The board is committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that the GLCCB will once again be financially stable and able to be out in front, leading the way to achieving equality, understanding and respect for the full LGBT community.”

Over the past month, the GLCCB has reorganized its structure, elected a new board president, finished a full review of its bylaws and held a community town hall meeting. “We are fully committed to recreating a thriving center at the forefront of LGBT life in Maryland,” says board member Rachael Stern. “But to do that, we have to attend to the health of the organization.  This isn’t terminal, but rather a physical that waited just a bit too long.”
