Lambda Business Association

This month, Lambda had an exhibitor’s booth at the Committed To Our Business Community (CTOBC) event. CTOBC is an annual business expo at Las Vegas convention center. We connected with small businesses, as well as government, city and county agencies. We showcased our Lambda members.
Board member, Gregory Moore stated, “This was another successful event Lambda has participated in, we handed out hundreds of our bags and directories and heard fabulous and touching stories. Several people stopped by to say thank you for our participation.”
We look forward to participating again next year!

🌈Lambda Business Association proudly participated in this year’s Las Vegas Pride Parade & Festival. Both events took place downtown. We met many people and handed out ‘Business in a Bags’ and Lambda Business Directories to all who attended. We’d like to thank those members who volunteered with us during Pride weekend. As this month continues, we want to wish everyone a very happy pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
