United StatesThis NASPA LGBTQA leadership conference invites students to educate and learn about intersecting identities while promoting social justice. We aim to create a respectful, open, and widely accessible environment in which participants will be challenged to apply the things they learn into their lives after they leave the conference. We hope to foster an understanding of difference that emphasizes discussion and social interaction, remembering that we are all at varying levels of knowledge and experience, and that those differences enhance our communities.
The conference committee is seeking proposals that will help attendees think about the importance of identity and the role identity plays in understanding effective and inclusive leadership. Being a leader in today's climate requires that we be culturally aware and culturally competent. A strong and inclusive leader will understand how an individual’s race, gender, sexual orientation and other aspects of identity impact effective leadership.Geographical Scope: Regional Conference |
