The 25th National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change

Atlanta, Georgia and the Hilton Atlanta

January 23–27, 2013. 

The Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals was founded at the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change. Since that time, the Consortium has partnered with the Task Force to host its business meeting and offer a Day-Long Institute, general conference sessions, academy sessions, and much much more.

What's Creating Change?

Only the premier annual organizing and skills-building event for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and their allies.

The conference is run by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and attracts more than 3,500 people from all over the country every year. Presenters and participants come from all walks of life and include members of the business community, elected officials, students, faith leaders and staff and volunteers of non-profit organizations.

The five-day program features over 350 workshops and training sessions, four plenary sessions, and tons of networking opportunities.

TONI Project

The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE)  just launched the TONI Project (Transgender On-Campus Non-Discrimination Information Project), a new website for trans and gender non-conforming college students to transform their campus. Learn more at www.transstudents.org

At the TONI Project, you can:

1. Learn about the kinds of policies that exist at different campuses. Does a school have gender neutral housing? Does the University health care plan include transition-related care? Are there courses that examine transgender issues? There are a lot of things that mark a welcoming community for transgender people. Use this site to find out more about a school.
2. Sign up to add your school into the TONI Project, or correct information about a school already in the site. The TONI Project relies on you to be the most accurate site for this information.
3. Check in with the Resources section of the website for other information important to transgender students. And when you’re ready to take action, we have resources to help you organize your campus to be a better community for transgender people.
