The Pauline Bosma LGBTQ+ Leadership Award

One for Each Region

The Pauline Bosma LGBTQ+ Leadership Award was created in 2024 to honor Rainbow groups founder and coordinator Pauline Bosma. Whether through her work with the LGBTQ+ community, abuse prevention, or in her everyday life, Pauline’s life is about creating an environment where all our voices can be heard and supported in a safe place. She can instantly put people at ease, with her intuitive understanding of others and her down-to-earth style of communication and sense of humor. She is not afraid to take risks and is confident in achieving her desired outcomes. Pauline is committed to equity, opportunity, and inclusion for all.
