Lifetime Membership

Since the organization’s founding in 1990, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists members have been devoted to ensuring fair and accurate coverage of the issues that affect their lives and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

It’s work that is both necessary and rewarding. Work that requires tireless dedication and commitment.

From our National Board of Directors to our chapter leadership to the individual members who bring our mission to work with them, NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists exemplifies the power of a community that has united under a common goal.

NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists Lifetime Members receive all the benefits of general membership, as well as special recognition in the organization’s various publications and at select events.

This program is designed to celebrate this dedication and commitment by allowing NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists members to pledge their talents and support not just for today, but for a lifetime.
