Meet Lauren Ansley, creator of Work the Room and facilitator of our September Lunch & Learn.

Lauren helps people connect with one another, with audiences, and with new ideas. Her energetic, approachable, and introvert-friendly style makes networking feel less like a performance and more like a real conversation.

At Networking with Ease, participants will practice a relationship-first approach they can use at CLGBTCC’s September networking event, the Friends in Business EXPO, and wherever professional connections matter.

Camp without a campus. Community without compromise.

QT Summer Camp began because families asked for it. What started as one pilot week grew into a program serving 65 campers across five groups during summer 2026.

Founder Kyndra Luce, CLGBTCC’s 2026 LGBT+ Professional of the Year, built a mobile day-camp model centered on LGBTQIA+ young people and their families.

At the center of that model:

• Affirming community
• Privacy and safety
• Sliding-scale tuition
• Travel assistance
• Caregiver programming
• More than one way for young people to participate

In our latest Small Business Story, learn how Kyndra is rethinking where camp happens, who it centers, and how one week can become a lasting community.
