Nine Affirmation Leaders Attend “Creating Change” Conference
“Transformational Experience” for Affirmation Attendees
February 2010
Seven of the nine Affirmation leaders who attended the Creating Change conference in Dallas. From left to right, George Cole, Fred Bowers, Mary England, Micah Bisson, AleX Dean, Robert Moore, and David Melson.
Nine Affirmation leaders spent five days at the 22nd annual Creating Change Conference in Dallas, Texas. They joined over 2,000 leaders from every major LGBT-interest group in the country, in intensive training sessions, business and program analysis, and sharing of ideas and best practices.
“Creating Change is often called a ‘transformational experience,’ and I believe that it was, for each of the nine Affirmation attendees and for Affirmation as an organization,” says Affirmation’s Executive Director David Melson. “Training sessions, caucuses, and meetings took in everything from cultural issues to diversity to strategic analysis, to fiscal issues to staffing and development.”
Produced by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Creating Change is the nation’s pre-eminent political, leadership and skills-building conference for the LGBT social justice movement. For more information, visit their blog at http://creatingchange2010.wordpress.com.
