Pride@CTA Celebrates World Art Day with Creative Community Building and ERG Connection

Programming example

In celebration of World Art Day, CTA’s LGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group, Pride@CTA, hosted their first event of the year. The event focused on connecting new and existing members and cultivating a space for shared ideas and creative activities. Attendees designed personalized name tags, shared ideas for future Pride@CTA events and initiatives, and painted solidarity stones with Pride-themed artwork and uplifting messages. Pride@CTA welcomed Acting President Nora Leerhsen, who joined in on the crafts and spent time speaking with attendees. Jeff Overcash, Vice President of Budget and Capital Finance and Executive Sponsor of Pride@CTA, was also in attendance. Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the continued growth of Pride@CTA. hashtag#ChicagoTransitAuthority hashtag#TeamCTA hashtag#Transit hashtag#WeMoveChicago hashtag#ERG hashtag#Pride
