PIERRE HABIS (Host): Hello, I'm Pierre Habis of Union Bank. Diversity is one of our most
closely-held values. This is why we're proud to honor Local Heroes in celebration of LGBT
Pride Month. Let's meet one of our honorees.
MAX DISPOSTI: My name is Max Disposti, and I'm the executive director of the North County
LGBTQ Resource Center.
CAROLYN BOLTON: I'm Carolyn Bolton and I'm board chair and director of projects here.
DISPOSTI: We're creating a safe place for everyone to come to.
BOLTON: Being in North County there is a real sense of community -- it's a smaller community.
We really pull together.
DISPOSTI: We know what it meant for us to live in an area with no representation.
BOLTON: The fact of having a facility where they can come and just relax -- or just know
that it's here is very helpful and empowering to the community.
DISPOSTI: When you are driven by a vision, by a dream, and you know it's right because
people need it -- everything is possible.
