Last Round of 2014 FEDtalks Now Available!

September 23, 2014

At this year’s Summer Meeting, we invited state leaders to take five minutes to share a big idea, talk through an innovative strategy, or offer up an exciting concept in a FEDtalk.

These energetic and captivating presentations about the most innovative parts of our members’ work stood out, once again, as a major highlight of Summer Meeting. So we wanted to share them with everyone, not just the folks who joined us at this year’s meeting.

Here's the last batch of the amazing FEDtalks — watch them now! These talks and more are also available on our YouTube Channel!

First, Nathan Schaefer, Executive Director at Empire State Pride Agenda, talks about second parent adoption and surrogacy bills in New York state.

Second, Em Elliott, Field Organizer at Georgia Equality, talks about the organization's Deconstructing Gender Binaries project.

Third, Ted Martin, Executive Director at Equality Pennsylvania, talks about the best ways to work with chambers of commerce.
