The Division of Equity and Diversity at the University of North Texas would like to invite you and your colleagues to our third annual seminar, “Developing Multicultural Leaders: Women who are Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and their Allies.” The seminar is designed to extend knowledge on women’s critical issues for persons who are lesbian, bisexual and transgender as well as their allies. This year the theme of the seminar is on employment issues.
The seminar moderator is author, activist and publisher, Patricia Nell Warren. Patricia's latest book is titled, The Lavender Locker Room. This book and many others will be available for sale by the UNT Bookstore.
Mainstream agencies are invited to participate so that their representatives may become more familiar with the needs of lesbians, resulting in better access to services and the achievement of welcoming environments.
It is planned that UNT's Social Work program will offer CEU's for social workers, professional counselors, psychologists and marriage and family therapists.
We also encourage your attendance at the Thursday, November 2, 2006 pre-seminar activities a:
9:00 a. m. - 5:00 p.m. - Leadership Development in the LGBT Community, a workshop facilitated by community leaders with Leadership Lambda, a program of DGLA,
Dallas Gay and Lesbian Alliance, Don Baker Education Fund
We are identifying individuals, organizations, and companies that are interested in financially supporting the seminar. A committed amount from you or your organization will help us create a truly outstanding experience and will make a difference in many communities. No amount is too small. All contributors will be recognized in the seminar program. Organizations, companies, and individuals donating $500 or more will be recognized on the seminar program and during the seminar as Community Diversity Supporters ($500 supporter level and higher.)
We also welcome organizations and companies to serve as exhibitors during the seminar. The exhibitor showcase is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and attendees will have access to the exhibits throughout the day.
