· Hear from experts on issues that intersect with participants' professional roles, their LGBT identities and their advocacy
· Engage in dialogue with peers on the toughest issues related to the LGBT equality movement
· Gain a greater understanding of their roles as leaders in their corporations and as leaders creating inclusive workplaces
· Learn successful strategies and tactics for an executive to further an out and equal workplace
· Receive encouragement and coaching from peers on how to be their most authentic and powerful self
· Benefit from expert facilitation to help reflect on and process provocative questions that arise during the Executive Forum
Out & Equal is especially targeting leaders who identify from the transgender community, the bisexual community and the communities of color.
The 2010 Out & Equal Executive Forum will conclude with the Leadership Celebration on April 21 at the Le Parker Meridien. This incredible celebration – including an exclusive reception and a special dinner – will celebrate those making a difference in the movement for LGBT workplace equality.
