From the Floor: Creating Change for the LGBT community

Creating Change is the premier annual organizing and skills-building event for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender community and their allies.

Presenters and participants come from all walks of life, including members of the business community, elected officials, students, faith leaders, and staff and volunteers of nonprofit organizations. Exhibiting with Care2 are organizations like GLSEN, The Human Rights Campaign, SAGE, The Trevor Project, The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, Immigration Equality, NARAL Pro-Choice America, and Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The response by conference attendees to Care2's presence has been overwhelming.

Where's the Care2 Team in June 2011?

There are conferences, and then there are e-conferences...and unconferences... and summits... conventions... forums... expos... banquets... dinners... galas... meetings... daycamp... bootcamp... rootscamp -- add these to the alphabet soup of acronyms and you've got a recipe for confusion! The truth is, there are just so many great conferences and events out there for nonprofits that it can be difficult to keep track of them all, much less to know which ones are worth attending.
