Chris Ann Kallgren, Independent Sales Associate, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Palm Springs Office

Chris Ann Kallgren, an independent sales associate with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Palm Springs office, has been named one of the top influential women of the Valley by Desert Outlook. The designation recognizes seven influential women who redefine LGBT leadership in Palm Springs.

“Despite the thousands of lesbian, bisexual and transgender women who live in the desert community, there aren’t many with high profile or recognized collective influence of gay men,” said Curry Mendes in the Desert Outlook story.

Kallgren, who appears on the cover of the October issue of Desert Outlook, has made numerous contributions to the Palm Springs community. From co-producing Joshua Tree Gay Pride to serving as an LGBT advocate in the Coachella Valley and High Desert, Kallgren is a tireless community volunteer.
