Jonathan Ealy

2019 Grand Marshal

"A native Memphian, Jonathan hosts a profound record of leading local organizations to thrive in their visions, while dedicating himself to make the world around him a better place. For the LGBTQ+ community, this is most evident in his role as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of OUTMemphis: The LGBTQIA+ Center of the Mid-South, and in his former role as Interim Executive Director of OUTMemphis. Jonathan further drives the voice of our community as a member of Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris’ Young Professionals Council, where he advocates for greater inclusion in county government.

Along with his roles within our direct LGBTQ+ community, Jonathan is the Director of Special Events and Venue Director of Opera Memphis, Inc and the Clark Opera Memphis Center. In his spare time, Jonathan enjoys quality time with his partner, David, and their three dogs."
