I was able to grab a few minutes at the New York Times Small Business Summit with Richard Oceguera, the energetic President of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce of New York.
The organization, known as the NGLCCNY, is a business advocate and a direct link between LGBT business owners and those who want to do business with them.

The organization gives their members visibility and access to business opportunities across the great city of New York.
