Each year this resource group at Comcast participate in Pride festival. “It’s so important that organizations like Comcast and others come here to Pride and celebrate the diversity that we have in our employees and customers,” said Beth Hester, Vice President of External Affairs at Comcast California. This year was the Stonewall Anniversary celebration. SF theme was Generations of Resistance. We were having a float, and our booth was at the main stage as we were hosting meet and greet with the cast members of Starz Hit Show Vida. So this year was so important to get as many local sign ups for this event. Out at Comcast needed representation in the market. I was asked by the Lead Board Member of Out to o do the registration desk at the corporate office. The was a huge honor for me as out of all the Event specialists in all the seven surrounding markets I was chosen to do the registration desk at corporate headquarters.
Since this was representing Stonewall 50th Anniversary I went back to that time, I decorated as if we were stepping back to that era, the 1970's. I brought in all the old Candy Shop Jars like in Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory. I chose all the candies that were popular in that time, but with the colors of Pride. It was so beautiful. It attracted many employees and we signed nearly 300 Comcast NBCUniversal employees up to the event.
