Cooley Law School will recognize Pride Month in June with a Community Conversation event held on Thursday, June 13, from noon to 1 p.m. via Webex. Rickie Kreuzer, a Cooley student and founder of the Chosen Family of Michigan organization where he serves as executive director & board president, will speak about the important work of LGBTQ+ advocacy.
Kreuzer was a field supervisor in a Fortune 500 company prior to transitioning into advocacy and politics. He began in LGBTQ+ advocacy for the Human Rights Campaign, followed by voter education with the League of Conservation Voters, and was a relational organizer for Michigan United/Michigan People’s Campaign while leading the LGBTQ+ initiatives during the 2020 general election. He serves as the board secretary for the American Red Cross of Southwest Michigan and chairs the organization’s DEI Committee.
Kreuzer serves on the Michigan HIV/AIDS Council’s Policy & Advocacy Committee. In 2022, he was appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer with Senate consent to the State Board of Nursing. In 2023, he was asked by the director of the bureau of HIV/STI Programs at MDHHS to lend his expertise by joining the Medicaid HIV Quality Improvement Policy Group as a consultant. Kreuzer previously held a teaching permit, has assisted in HR consulting, and has hosted many events and workshops throughout his career.
