Roberto Ordeñana of the GLBT Historical Society
Native San Franciscan Roberto Ordeñana has over 25 years of experience investing in LGBTQ communities. Previously, he was the Deputy Executive Director of the San Francisco LGBT Center, developed nationally-recognized HIV prevention initiatives with the STOP AIDS Project, and volunteered extensively on various San Francisco community boards and city commissions — including the San Francisco Arts Commission, where he served as President from 2019 to 2022. Roberto is now the Executive Director of the GLBT Historical Society, tasked with establishing a permanent home for its archives, exhibitions, and public programs. The Board of Directors believes his leadership and commitment to diversity and inclusion will be pivotal in launching a capital campaign and supporting the society's mission to collect, preserve, exhibit, and make accessible materials and knowledge that promote understanding of LGBTQ history, culture, and arts in all their diversity. Beyond The Fog Radio met with Roberto at the GLBT Historical Society Museum in the Castro. There, we learned about the extensive work that he does in collecting, preserving, and exhibiting, LGBTQ history — making it more accessible so that everyone can learn from the past and carry the knowledge into the future.
