After an extensive search, Ellie Perez has been appointed as the permanent executive director of the LGBTQ Center Long Beach. Ellie has been an instrumental part of the LGBTQ Center team for the past 11 months as interim director, and her commitment to the Centers’ community has already led to significant advancements.

A Southern California native and the daughter of Mexican immigrants, Ellie’s life has been a testament to resilience and advocacy.
