Board of Directors
Brooklyn Pride is a 501(c)(3) wholly volunteer-managed, tax-exempt, non-profit organization working for and on behalf of all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Brooklynites and all others who support the struggle for equality of this community.
Mickey Heller, Co-Chair
Mickey Heller, a Native New Yorker originally from the Bronx, has spent the last three decades in Brooklyn. A graduate of the HS of Music & Art, Hunter College and Brooklyn Law School, Mickey has been practicing law for 30 years saying that he will continue to practice until he gets it right! A founding board member of the Brooklyn Community Pride Center, Mickey has volunteered for several non-profit organizations, and will be the Park Slope Santa for the 5th Avenue BID again this year, but says he is proudest of his work with Brooklyn Pride, Inc. He became involved with Brooklyn Pride, Inc. by driving former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz’ parade float in 2007 & 2008. That led to volunteering in 2009 on the parade and 5K Run, and in 2010 he became, and currently serves, as the Parade Manager. Mickey became Co-Chair of Brooklyn Pride in 2012, Chair from 2013 and Co-chair since 2016. Pronouns - He/Him/His
Kyle Naff, Run director
Kyle Naff, originally from the cornfields of the Midwest, landed in Brooklyn to see what it was like to live in the big city. While he thought that it would be just for a short stint, he has managed to find a sense of community here through fitness and running with Front Runners New York. His involvement with the team led him to take up an offer to oversee the Brooklyn Pride LGBTQIA+ 5K as a way to get even more involved and give back to the community that has been his home since 2015. He is honored to join the Board to continue to put together an amazing Brooklyn Pride Week and more. Pronouns - He/Him/His
