GLAAD is proud to announce its partnership with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Academy for Leadership in Action at this year's National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change. This year's conference is taking place in the "mile high" city, Denver, Colorado, from January 28 through February 1, 2009. We cordially invite you to join us at the conference and to be a part of this incredibly exciting skill building and learning opportunity.
Creating Change is 21 years old this year, and it is still the largest and most diverse gathering of the LGBT movement. GLAAD is excited about bringing its media training expertise, along with its most seasoned trainers, to the Academy for Leadership and Action. GLAAD will contribute to a series of more than thirty courses offered through the Academy – all of which will provide an important opportunity to build the sustainability, leadership and skills of LGBT and allied activists and organizations.
"GLAAD is proud to partner with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force again this year and provide media advocacy workshops and skills-building opportunities for the movement," said Rashad Robinson, Senior Director of Media Programs for GLAAD. "Creating Change is one of the most important annual events in the movement. It's a time for us to celebrate our successes, evaluate our work and build our skills to continue moving forward."
Please join us for this dynamic and visionary gathering of leaders and activists in Denver. Together we can continue to increase the vibrancy of the LGBT and allied movements by sharing our skills, knowledge and collective passion for social justice. You really don't want to miss this!
