The Nevada PROUD Program is a six-month cohort designed to support GLCCNV members in obtaining LGBTBE® certification (if not already certified) and, more importantly, learn how to leverage certification to grow their business. While certification support is included, the majority of the program focuses on positioning your business for procurement opportunities, strengthening your messaging, and building meaningful connections with corporations, agencies, and partners seeking diverse suppliers.

Through monthly virtual sessions, participants will gain hands-on guidance in procurement navigation, capability statement development, proposal strategy, and effective networking—equipping you with the tools needed to turn certification into real business growth.

• Must be an active GLCCNV member for at least one year prior to applying and maintain active membership status throughout the duration of the program

• Primary business owner or representative must be able to attend all scheduled sessions listed below. Only one (1) rep from each business may participate.

• A limited number of membership scholarships are available on an as-needed basis (separate application required)

• Note: Although Nevada PROUD is designed to support LGBTBE® Certified businesses, certification is not required to participate.
