This professional development retreat is designed specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming educators and administrators.  The weekend will be an exploration of how our identities impact and enhance our roles in education and will sharpen our tools for engaging with students and colleagues as our nation has critical conversations about our place at the table.  We will share our stories and gather our wisdom for navigating our call to educational leadership.  What does it mean to be an LGBTQ educator in a questionable world?  Let's look for answers together.
