Meredith Schlosser
Real estate agent and social networking entrepreneur Meredith Schlosser wants to help the LGBT community “bring their social circles together.” Her newly formed Out Social Networking group provides a venue for LGBT people to mingle, make contacts and promote their businesses outside of a bar/club setting. With 275 current members, Schlosser is working on expanding the group, acquiring sponsors and launching a website. Despite her busy schedule, she also finds time to volunteer and donates to a number of charities. Schlosser would like her fellow twenty-something lesbians to be a bit more daring: “I’d like to encourage people to take more chances and approach more people. I think that New York City is the empire of lesbians and instead of segregating ourselves into little niches I think we need to work on coming together and breaking down our barriers.” -CB
