Chamber has gay pride

Connecticut’s first statewide gay and lesbian chamber of commerce kicks off tomorrow. The Connecticut Alliance for Business Opportunities will convene its first meeting in New Haven at 6 p.m. at Bentara Restaurant. It was formed by Dena Castricone, an attorney at Murtha Cullina, which is the organization’s largest sponsor. She says the group’s motto is “economic vitality through diversity.” The state organization will be aligned with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce.
