What is Mossier?
A safe home, a supportive network of friends and family, and a stable job are the most important aspects of a good life. Mossier works with leaders and allies across all rungs of the ladder to make workspaces work for everyone.
Our consulting services encompass guiding organizations in establishing robust employee resource groups, formulating LGBTQ recruitment strategies, implementing self-identification and analytics initiatives, and developing fair policies, benefits, and HR processes. We also offer a comprehensive range of training programs designed to cultivate a culture of LGBTQ inclusion and equip leaders with inclusive leadership skills.
Our Mission
Enabling employment equity for everyone LGBTQ.
Our Values
We are nonbinary, versatile, interdependent, and practical.
Nonbinary means we recognize that answers to longstanding inequities are not black and white, top or down, us vs. them. .
Versatile means we can pivot and adapt to achieve short term wins while keeping the longer-term vision of equity for all in view
Interdependent means we see all of our outcomes as linked together. A mutually beneficial exchange between those with power and those without.
Practical. It’s felt. It’s seen. It’s heard. Because the initiatives go beyond box-checking.
Our History
Who was Kevin Mossier?
Kevin Mossier was a successful entrepreneur, founding an openly LGBTQ travel business in 1985. Based on his own personal experience of facing discrimination while on vacation with his boyfriend, safety for gay travelers became an important issue for Kevin. Through this business, he provided a safe travel experience for thousands of LGBTQ people, friends, and their families.
After Kevin’s much-too-early death in 1996, the Kevin J. Mossier Foundation was formed to follow his lead of inclusivity. This foundation was the first funder of marriage equality in Minnesota, and their last grant went to form Mossier.
Our north star is honoring Kevin in everything we do.
