Dear Colleagues,
I am trying to search the network for any institutions (natural history museums, science centers, aquariums, children's museums) that have delivered special programs, or even promoted special "days", for the LBGT community. I am part of a consortium of ASTC professionals working on a series of session proposal for the 2010 meeting that are examining Diversity, Equity and the LBGT community in STC's.
The focuses are on:
1) Programs and Activities to engage LGBT visitors (for guests/visitors, special programs for LBGT families, adult happy hours, etc)
2) Shaping Internal Attitudes (think internal policies, staff/volunteer trainings, etc);
If you or someone in your institution has conducted any kind of programs or activities for this community, please contact me directly at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. This seems to be the point form above where there are less examples in the STC world.
Likewise, if your institution has addressed equity/diversity/inclusion internally, please contact Jesse Hall at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
Thank you!
