National Lavender Law heard YOUR input!

During the National lavender Law conference in Chicago on September 6-8, the National Lesbian and Gay Law Association (NLGLA) hosted a lunch to gather YOUR thoughts and ideas about the organization and its programs.

We are pleased to report that members of MLBA were well represented at this gathering! NLGA has hired RealChange Partners, a nationally recognized consultation firm to organize and implement a strategic planning process. As part of that process, members of MLBA sat down for lunch with members of similarly sized affiliates throughout the country, including Seattle and Chicago, and provided input on how our affiliate members would like to see NLGA grow and improve in the future.

During this lunch, affiliate members raised concerns about the need to promote racial diversity within NLGLA, create improved communication capacities between NLGA and its regional affiliates, and among regional affiliates; and generate new programming that directly impacts members at the local level. As the strategic planning process continues, MLBA's delegate to NLGLA will monitor the strategic planning progress and provide input on behalf of MLBA. If you have ideas, thoughts, or concerns that you want NLGLA to hear, please contact Jenny by sending email to jennyryan@gmail.com or call (651) 216-0157.
