California Transgender Leadership Summit 2009It begins in about a week, on March 27th, and goes through March 29th. From the media release:
Presented by Equality California, the Transgender Law Center (TLC), and more than twenty community-based organizations, the Leadership Summit has become a major event for identifying and building transgender community leaders statewide. The Summit provides grassroots activists and their allies with an unprecedented opportunity to create a unified voice to advance the movement for transgender equality and to address the barriers transgender people face in their personal and professional lives. Attendees will participate in workshops to learn skills they need to be effective activists, including how to facilitate public policy change, encourage economic development, educate the media, conduct budget advocacy, and build local capacity. As part of its leadership development emphasis, the Summit is planned by a volunteer committee of community members and activists, with assistance from TLC.
