 The
Division of Equity and Diversity at the University of North Texas
would like to invite you and your colleagues to our second 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. Our keynote speaker is
Sheriff Lupe
Valdez.
The seminar moderator is author, activist and publisher,
Patricia
Nell Warren. Additional speakers are well known leaders with
local, state and national LGBT communities, including special guest,
Kate Kendell, Executive Director
of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
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.
