Grand Marshals

Each year, we ask one or two people who have given extraordinary service to the Santa Cruz Queer community to lead our Pride Parade as Grand Marshal.  This year, we're asking members of the community to send us nominations for this singular honor.

If you know someone who should be the leader of the queer pack this year, please send us a name and your reasons.

We’ll be considering nominations at our March meeting, and will announce our 2008 Grand Marshal shortly thereafter.

Send nominatinos to Pride, P.O.Box 8280, Santa Cruz, CA 95061-8280. Drop them off at The Diversity Center, or e-mail to .
