Miami, Fla. – Invited to the White House for a special reception honoring LGBT leaders, Christian Ulvert, president of EDGE Communications, a leading Florida-based political and communications consulting firm and SAVE Dade Board Member, will head to Washington, D.C. on June 29th to attend a special reception hosted by President Barack Obama.

“It is an honor to be part of a small group of leaders invited by President Obama to celebrate the important milestones reached in the effort to achieve equal rights for every American,” said Ulvert. “While the work to ensure the government never denies a single right to an American because of their sexual orientation is far from over, major accomplishments have been realized over the last few years. Even recent polling shows that for the first time a majority of Americans support policies that treat every American equal.”

Ulvert will travel to Washington, D.C. on June 27th as a lead up to the White House reception to meet with key leaders in the area. The reception will take place on Wednesday, June 29th at 4:30 p.m. at the White House.

Ulvert added, “I truly believe that more and more elected officials across the country recognize the important contributions made by the LGBT community, including a national buying power of more than $743 billion. For gay Americans, it’s all about equal rights with equal responsibilities, and being part of a strong economic base that yields growth in jobs and new economic opportunities for all.”

Christian Ulvert is the founder and president of EDGE Communications, LLC, a Florida-based communications and political consulting firm. Ulvert serves on SAVE Dade’s Board of Directors where he Co-chairs the Governmental Affairs Committee. Ulvert has served on and managed several successful campaigns across the state of Florida, ranging from municipal, issue advocacy and statewide campaigns. A native of Miami, Fla., Ulvert graduated from the Florida State University with a Bachelors of Science in Political Science and a Masters in Public Administration and Policy.
