Sarah Kate Ellis Biography

In January 2014, Sarah Kate Ellis was appointed GLAAD's CEO and President after a successful career as a media executive and communications expert who had won several awards. Ellis has swiftly organized GLAAD's crucial campaign to hasten the acceptance of the LGBT community through various persuading and effective activity campaigns and programs. Ellis is a gifted communicator who has taken advantage of GLAAD's position as the nation's leading media support organization to advocate for and promote the inclusion of LGBT Russians in the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia. During her leadership, GLAAD closely collaborated with Facebook to expand the informal organization's sexual orientation options to include transgender and sex-non-conforming individuals. In addition, Ellis' organization spearheaded a campaign during the 2014 World Cup to urge FIFA to address the issue of LGBT slurs during the events, pushing telecasters ESPN and Univision to condemn such distasteful language airing in real time to large audiences. Ellis' organization also successfully questioned the prohibition on Gay participation in the NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade, which caused two important sponsors, Heineken and Guinness, to withdraw support and ultimately draw attention to the landmark event. She followed up on this effort with the culmination of a long-running campaign by GLAAD and Scouts for Equality to overturn the Boy Scouts' ban on LGBT children and adult scouts.
