NGLTF National conference

"Creating Change: A National Conference for Gay & Lesbian Organizations" will feature keynote speeches by two leading gay activists, Virginia Apuzzo and John D'Emilio. The Conference is organized by the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) and will be held November 18-20, 1988 in Washington DC at the Hotel Washington.

on

The Conference, which is open to all gay organizations, has three goals: (1) to foster skill, resource and information sharing; (2) to support and develop lesbian/gay leadership at the local, state and national levels; and (3) to strengthen our political movement by supporting the the organizations and institutions that serve our community. Technical skill-building workships led by activists from across the country will be offered in the areas of lobbying, grassroots organizing, media action, development and fundraising, and direct action. Panels will also focus on current political debates within our

movement.

Virginia Apuzzo has been actively engaged in the national lesbian and gay movement since the early 70's and remains the lesbian and gay movement's most original and visionary thinker. Apuzzo is former Executive Director of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force. She is Deputy Executive Director of the New York State Consumer Protection Board; serves as Governor Mario Cuomo's liason to New York's lesbian and gay community; and is the Vice-Chair of the New York State AIDS Advisory Council.

John D'Emilio is a noted historian, author activist and from North Carolina. He is a professor at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. D'Emilio is author of: Intimate Matters: A History of Sexuality in America which is coauthored by Estelle Freedman (Harper & Row 1988); and Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities: The Making of a Homosexual Minority (University of Chicago Press).
