OUT MetroWest will honor Grace Moreno, executive director of the Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, during this year’s Come Out & Celebrate event on Friday, September 21, at 6:30 p.m. at The Verve–Crowne Plaza Hotel, Natick.

Moreno has more than 20 years of experience leading state and national not-for-profit organizations and has dedicated her career to advocacy for all people, regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

Funds raised at Come Out & Celebrate allow OUT MetroWest to run its free programs for LGBTQ youth. Each month, OUT MetroWest runs more than a dozen educational, social, and supportive meetings for middle- and high school-aged youth from across the greater Boston area. Meetings are held in Framingham, Newton, and Wellesley.
