About this session

This Q&A with 25+ year field expert offers participants the opportunity to think about what we are each already doing to support transgender people and what else we can be doing. At whatever level of power and whatever type of work you do, there is always a way to do more. This is the opportunity to come together to learn from one another and to walk away feeling empowered to do better and to do more for the trans* community.
