Santa Barbara’s Pacific Pride Foundation (PPF) announced its new director this week. Kristin Flickinger brings with her two decades of work in the LGBTQ+ movement, including seven years with the Los Angeles LGBT Center, the organization said. Before that, she spent four years as the Southern California director of AIDS/LifeCycle, where she headed up a $25 million fundraising effort. “PPF is the largest LGBTQ+ center between L.A. and San Francisco,” said Board President Lynn Cunningham Brown. “Kristin is going to be a key part in achieving our strategic plan to take the organization to the next level of growth, to make us the recognized leader for issues relevant to the LGBTQ+ population, and to broaden our programming to meet the challenging and diverse needs of our community.”
