LGBTQ+ Liaisons to the City of Mobile
LGBTQ+ Liaisons to the City of Mobile
For the first time in Mobile’s history, Mayor Sandy Stimpson has appointed dedicated LGBTQ+ Liaisons to represent the City’s LGBTQ+ community in all matters related to city government. In this newly created role, the City’s LGBTQ+ liaisons will work directly with the administration to help make sure leaders throughout the City of Mobile have an LGBTQ+ perspective on public policies and services.
These liaisons will also serve as an important voice for the LGBTQ+ community — working with advocacy groups, businesses, and individuals to relay concerns from LGBTQ+ Mobilians directly to the mayor’s office. The addition of these positions helps ensure that voices from across the community have an easy and comfortable way to interface with their City government about the issues affecting them.
In their role, LGBTQ+ Liaisons to the Mayor’s office are tasked with:
- Assisting, advising, and consulting with the mayor, city council on LGBTQ+ issues.
- Developing and implementing strategies to address the needs of vulnerable groups within the LGBTQ+ community
- Meeting with business owners, community groups, and individuals of the LGBTQ+ community to identify unique needs and solicit feedback on relevant laws, policies, and services
- Serving as a representative of the city government at LGBTQ+ community events
- Developing and maintaining an open, trusting relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and city officials.
