Sydney Gay and Lesbian Business Association

The Association was founded in 1981 as the Gay Business Association. In 1994, to reflect its broadening membership base, the Association changed its name to Sydney Gay & Lesbian Business Association Inc. In 1998 the SGLBA adopted new Articles of Association and created a board of directors.

After-Work Drinks - These evenings provide a relaxed atmosphere for members and their guests to socialise and network. Dozens of new members first experienced the SGLBA at these fun nights.

Fruits in Suits - It's been dubbed the best "gay gig" in town. Fruits in Suits has become a staple for the busy executive and businessman in Sydney. It is in effect an informal catch-up for those of us that enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable evening in a comfortable environment.  Held on the third Thursday of every month. Meet with friends, make some new ones but more importantly 'strut your business and/or profession' to a receptive group.

Lemons With a Twist - This is a wonderful forum gaining in popularity month by month. Always held on the first Friday of the month. Lemons is an afterwork cocktails evening aimed specifically for women although the guys are more than welcome to attend.

Dinners - Our regular dinners attract prominent speakers who challenge, inform and entertain us and provide for an exchange of views. Recent speakers have included High Court Justice Michael Kirby, NSW Governor Marie Bashir, social justice campaigners, Monica Hingston and Rev Dorothy McRae-McMahon, Lucy Turnbull, and Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone.

All SGLBA events are open to both Members and non-members and indeed the entire community - gay, lesbian or not.
