GLAAD Re-Connects with Community Partners from Around the Country

Throughout the year GLAAD’s Media Field Strategy department travels around the country working with local and statewide LGBT organizations. Our Media Field Strategists collaborate with folks through trips from our LA and NYC offices (most recently our Western Strategist traveled to New Mexico and our Central Strategist traveled to Kansas). When we're not out in the field, we're collaborating directly with folks in all 50 states over the phone and via e-mail. That's why Creating Change is so exciting--we're getting to meet with folks who we don't ordinarly see on a day-to-day basis and talk about our work together.

Today I’ve run into and talked with Danny Upton with Equality Alabama (www.equalityalabama.org), John Hoadley with the Stonewall Democrats (www.stonewalldemocrats.org) and of course a number of my colleagues here at GLAAD.

If you’re attending Creating Change be sure to stop by our table and say ‘hello.’ If you’re not in town be sure to check back and see how our work is going along!
