Standing Committees

The Bears of South Florida is powered by six standing committees, each bringing unique energy, expertise, and heart to our mission. From organizing unforgettable events and mobilizing volunteers to driving fundraising, community outreach, governance, and wellness initiatives, these committees are the backbone of BOSFL. Together, they ensure that our organization not only thrives socially but also creates a lasting impact across South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community.
