After nearly 15 years at EqualityMaine, Gia Drew is stepping down from her position as Executive Director.

Gia has held many roles within the organization since she first started volunteering with EqualityMaine in 2012, and is one of the state’s most beloved and special leaders.

It is safe to say that there is only one Gia Drew.

To quote Gia, “Serving this organization and the LGBTQ+ community in Maine has been one of the greatest privileges of my life…I am so proud of what we have accomplished together and confident that EqualityMaine will continue to defend human rights and take care of our beautiful community for years to come.”

Thank you, Gia, for everything. 🖤
