Hello, Do-Gooder!

I don't know about you, but I'm a bargain shopper. I clip coupons, raid sale bins, go for early bird dinner specials and prefer used books to new. So I know a deal when I see one and believe you me, registering for the Equality NC Conference by the end of this week (October 30th) is a GREAT one! Register now here!

Acting fast will get you an admission to the only annual conference in North Carolina focused solely on LGBT rights at the state and local level for the low, low rates of: $45 for individuals, $20 for students, or $30 for those with income challenges. Admission rates go up after this Friday, so time is of the essence.

The conference will provide a day of community-building, awareness-raising and education. There will be topics for everyone, including workshops focused on legal concerns for same-sex parents, organizing around LGBT issues in your community (including workshops specifically focused on student engagement, working with--or against--your local government entities, and LGBT activism on Historically Black College and University campuses), and creating a welcoming workplace. Check out the entire workshop lineup here.

And did I mention that Deputy Director of the White House Office for Public Engagement Brian Bond will keynote the conference?

Top it all off with a fresh, delicious, local lunch (included with your admission) and you've got yourself a great day!

So join us for a day of empowering workshops and speakers, hob-nobbing with like-minded North Carolinians and learning (or reviving) the tools of the trade needed to make positive change for our community. And do it on the cheap by registering by this weekend by clicking here.

See you at the conference!
