Last week, the State Parole Board held its fourth annual Pride Flag ceremony in recognition of Pride Month, which occurs annually in June. Chairman Samuel J. Plumeri, Jr. provided opening remarks, acknowledging the history behind Pride Month and its importance in ongoing efforts to ensure equality for all. Lieutenant Attaa Alston, on behalf of the State Parole Board’s LGBTQ+ Liaisons, then spoke about the history and significance of the Pride Flag, and the State Parole Board’s ongoing commitment to ensuring that every person served by the agency feels treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. Pride Month gives us the chance to acknowledge the important contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals within the State Parole Board and beyond, whose service, guidance, and courage benefit our entire community.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
