15- KEITH BLACKBURN — Greater Fort Lauderdale Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (GFLGLCC)
While it may seem like Keith Blackburn has lived in Fort Lauderdale forever, he’s a relatively new transplants, arriving in town in 2004 from the nation’s Capitol. In addition to be being a real estate broker and the owner of the eccentric and upscale Mary’s Resort, Keith is the president and CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (GFLGLCC). The GFLGLCC is Broward County’s affiliate of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). Membership includes the NGLCC Supplier Diversity Initiative (SDI), which certifies Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and/or Transgender owned Business Enterprises (LGBTBEs) and works to provide opportunities for LGBTBEs to gain exposure within corporate procurement processes. Look for Keith. He’s the tall one with the perpetual smile.
