About The Council

The Council, created in 2023, is made up of 12 Governor-appointed public voting members and up to 4 appointed legislators. The public voting members have a proven dedication and commitment to Minnesota’s LGBTQIA2S+ community and possess a broad and diverse array of expertise that is beneficial to the Council’s mission.

The Council fulfills its mission by advising the Governor and legislature on issues confronting the LGBTQIA2S+ community, needed administrative or legislative changes, and the implications of proposed changes.
