Past President's Message

It was a pleasure to serve as this organization's president in 2023 and 2024.  During that time, we formalized new by-laws protecting the organization, saw successful Pride Festivals, and most importantly, secured our position as the foremost organization working to create a diverse and inclusive community in the Texas Panhandle by obtaining licensure from the Federal Communications Commission to operate a LP FM radio station in Amarillo.  This project will begin in earnest in 2025, as we have only three years to establish and begin broadcasting from our new radio station.  We will need to come together and end the divisive and petty squabbles in our own community.  We need for you to get involved and participate.  Membership costs less than a couple of drinks at a bar and has a longer impact.  A few people can't be expected to do it all, so do your part -- join -- get involved -- do good.

Happy 2025 and may our community continue to grow and strengthen.
