Natalie Hinckley,
Director of Hinckley Productions

The Wisconsin LGBT Chamber has been an invaluable resource in helping Hinckley Productions succeed. We have benefited from various programs including leadership training and mentor programs. They also served as a lifeline during the pandemic. The Wisconsin LGBT and allied business community is a source of great strength, unity and pride within Wisconsin. Joining the chamber was one of the best things I have ever done for my business and personal growth as an entrepreneur and leader.

I really appreciate all that the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce does for the business community in this state. It is so important for visibility and inclusivity. The team offers really nice events that include opportunities to network. I greatly appreciate all the organization and coordination that goes into such events.
