The
Consolidated Association of Pride, Inc. (CAPI) is a California
501(c)(3) public benefit corporation made up of GLBT Pride
coordinators in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah
and the country of Mexico. Encompassing a full range of membership,
member committees range from some of the largest in the world
(San Francisco and Christopher Street West), to some of the
smallest, with midsize events well represented in the rank-and-file.
CAPI is a very active association with a governing Board of
five officers, providing a number of services to its members.
A few of these services include conferences, promotion program,
and video library.
CAPI
was formed in 1987 in San Jose by five founding members, Christopher
Street West, Long Beach, San Diego, San Francisco and San
Jose, as the California Association of Pride, Inc. In 1996,
the association was renamed as the Consolidated Association
of Pride, Inc. to better reflect its membership, which had
grown from its original California based committees to include
members in several nearby states and Mexico - totaling 32
in 2004.
