LGBTQA Leadership Day at the Vermont Statehouse April 12, 2013

What is Leadership Day?

Leadership Day is an annual event which gives fellow LGBTQ Vermonters an opportunity to connect with LGBTQ organizations, and to connect with legislators about important issues facing our community today!

We are grateful to our legislative leaders and supporters who made history bringing full marriage equality to Vermont through the legislative process. There is still work to be done and issues that legislators must hear about directly from their constituents.

We need your participation to ensure that our presence and the issues that are important to us are VISIBLE!

Please check out our Leadership Day Packet Download Leadership Day Packet (1750.7K) for information on how to contact your legislators, tips on how to talk with your legislators and talking points about key issues affecting our community. You can print the packet and bring it with you on leadership day and use it as a reference before the event.

Below you will find the agenda for the day, but be sure to look at the packet for more information.
