Speaker's Training a Success
The LGBT Resource Center of the 7 Rivers region hosted a Speaker's Training on October 27th at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Training was provided by members of Outreach Inc from Madison. There were 12 people in attendance.
Our goal, as part of our mission, is to create a Speaker's Bureau. When a request is received by the Center to provide someone to speak on LTBTQ issues, we hope to have a pool of educated persons available so that we can provide outreach and education to the requesting groups.
We were fortunate to have the training filmed. A copy will be available for future use. More training sessions will be scheduled in the future. If you are interested, please contact the Center at 608-784-0452
