Summary:

Rev Pieter Oberholzer holds a Master's degree in Theology. He was refused entry into the ministry of the Dutch Reformed Church (DRC) because of his homosexual orientation and became pastor with the Reformed Church of Holland for 10 years. Pieter worked as regional director for a community development organisation in the Western Cape from 1983 to 1992 and was part of the core group of the Organisation of Lesbians and Gays against Apartheid (OLGA) that negotiated with the African National Congress (ANC) in the late 80's, resulting in the protection of LGBTI people in the South African Constitution. In 1999 Pieter received the Gay and Lesbian Association Against Defamation (GLAAD) leadership award in Kansas City. He founded IAM in 1995 and served as Director until 2010. Since 2011 Pieter serves as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Pieter retired in 2014 and will continue to work for IAM as consultant. The Rev. Pieter Oberholzer began GLCO in 1995.
