This all-day conference will include well-renowned speakers, as well as experienced trainers who are enthusiastic about helping you prevent bullying and harassment in your community. If you've attended in the past, you know about the amazing benefits of this conference. This year there will be many new and exciting presentations to provide you with the most current and relevant resources and tools.
I'll be on a panel with three colleagues -- "Looking Back on LGBTQ Youth Activism in Boston", about the history of the local GLBTQ youth movement. We presented this workshop for the first time at last year's GLSEN MA con.
