What is BuildingPride?
Building Pride is focused on improving the lives of LGBT + people within the property and construction industry.
Our programs support and connect LGBT+ people, encourage ally participation and step outside of our circles, to engage and educate non-identifying people in the pursuit of greater inclusivity. We create an environment where LGBT+ people thrive, leading to greater attraction and retention, with the goal to develop game changers and leaders of tomorrow. Change happens when leaders make equality and fairness a priority.
Our vision is to have the Property and Construction industry a place for LGBT+ talent to thrive.
Our initiatives aim to connect, support and develop LGBT + through 4 key pillars
We are about people and are a place to share lived experiences and truths. Never perfect, but always learning and always positive.
We aim for real change beyond the corporate offices, focusing on where the action happens, at a construction site level and in small to medium enterprises. We aim to avoid the politics.
We get sh*t done.
