Equality Federation Summer Meeting 2010

Welcome to Baltimore!

Our 2010 Summer Meeting brings together leaders of the state-wide LGBT organizations who are fighting for equality across the country. This year's program features workshops that will build your skills whether you're new to the Movement or an experienced advocate and organizer. We're offering sessions from national and state leaders for board members and staff on topics ranging from organization building to making strong, stable collaboration with our allies.

This is our second year for the Equality Agenda, the state-by-state overview of legislative change. Come and hear how your peers are working across the country for LGBT communities.
