"Log Cabin Republicans and the founding members of the National Advisory Board will work over the next year to bring a broad cross-section of Republican leaders from across the country to the Advisory Board. We share a commitment to common goals, and will work to continue promoting our mission together."

The founding members of the Log Cabin Republicans National Advisory Board are Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-AZ), Senator Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), Senator Jim Jeffords (R-VT), Congresswoman Sue Kelly (R-NY),, Congressman Tom Campbell (R-CA), Congressman Christopher Shays (R-CT), Congresswoman Connie Morella (R-MD), Congressman Steve Horn (R-CA) and Congressman Jim Greenwood (R-PA).
