Founded in 1994, the Central PA Womyn’s Chorus “brings together a diverse group of women, united by the joy of singing, to celebrate and empower women and to affirm a positive image of lesbians and feminists.” This event program is from the "Lebanon Area GLBT Groups Collaborative Kickoff" event, which was held in the Miller Chapel of Lebanon Valley College on October 25, 2007. The event featured music from the Central PA Womyn's Chorus and representatives from numerous state and local organizations, including Equality PA, Harrisburg City Council, PFLAG, Common Roads, Central Voice, LGBT Center Coalition, the Central Pennsylvania Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, and Equality Forum. Community activist Susan Wheeler also hosted an open forum. In addition to an event itinerary, the program contains information about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act of 2007, upcoming events of interest, a list of community resources, a student evaluation form, and a campus map.

The Central Pennsylvania Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CPGLCC) was established in 2007. It grew out of The Business Association of Gays and Lesbians (BAGAL), which was established in the 1990s by Dan Miller. Miller wanted to create an association that brought together professionals of the LGBTQ+ community to network. After Miller stepped down from leadership, the group evolved into more of a social network over the years. In 2007, new leadership reshaped BAGAL with the rebrand to CPGLCC. A business affiliate of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, CPGLCC began building partnerships between gay-owned and gay-friendly businesses, professionals, and students of business. Today, their mission is to “support diversity and assist Central Pennsylvania’s business community in pursuit of an ideal workplace, marketplace, industry, and region.”
