The 11th Annual Iowa Governors Conference on LGBTQ Youth will take place on April 25th, 2016 at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Des Moines and we are expecting another sell out crowd!
This annual event is an important opportunity for school counselors, educators, LGBTQ/allied youth, and anyone else who cares to learn more about issues impacting this population including bullying, homelessness, and suicide prevention.
Registration is open for this important event and you can save money by registering under the Early Bird discount by February 29th! There are also scholarships available for student attendees.
Register today for the 11th Annual Iowa Governors Conference on LGBTQ Youth!
We have an incredible line up of speakers including actress Lea DeLaria who is better known as Big Boo from the hit Netflix show Orange is the New Black. Lea is a terrific advocate for LGBTQ youth and inspires so many of us to be ourselves.
The most exciting announcement we have is our theme for this year - We Will Be Citizens. LGBTQ individuals continue to be persecuted against and this Governor's Conference has been targeted by the far-right in our state with some pretty outlandish accusations. This event is not going away and we are going to keep our focus on supporting LGBTQ youth in this state. We will be citizens.
Register today!
Our goal with this Conference is to ensure that every LGBTQ student, educator, counselor, administrator, and really anyone who sometimes feels left out - can spend a full day knowing they are not alone and are a part of a larger community that cares. I hope you can join us.
