...and includes the First Annual Transgender Career Expo, on Sept. 14

[LostInTime]

First-ever transgender community career expo to be held during Atlanta's Southern Comfort Convention, Sept. 12-15

The Career Expo will be held:

    * Friday, September 14
    * 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
    * Crowne Plaze Ravinia Hotel
    * 4355 Ashford Dunwoody Road
    * Atlanta, GA  30346

This landmark transgender career expo deserves cheers all around, as it's truly a sign of progress. As our newest Corporate Equality Index report indicates, the number of Fortune 500 companies that have put in place non-discrimination policies that include protections for transgender workers has quadrupled since last year. Still, we know that the transgender community often faces the most intense discrimination -- and there is currently no federal civil rights employment protection for transgender individuals. But, we're working to change that by passing the inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
