More 2014 FEDtalks Available — Watch Now!

September 4, 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 a new batch of the amazing FEDtalks — watch them now! These talks and more are also available on our YouTube Channel!

First, Amber Royster, Executive Director at Equality New Mexico, talks about rebuilding and transforming her organization.

Second, Owen Smith, Community Programs Manager at Equality Utah, talks about his previous work at Equality Maryland to create a program that invests and builds capacity for transgender leaders.

Third, Chris Sgro, Executive Director at Equality North Carolina, talks about the organization's work to create an affiliate program as part of their strategic plan.
