The “Amper&and” Award recognizes an individual or institution that has made bold advances toward the full inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.  This year’s recipient is Louisville native and attorney David Tachau. 

A partner at Tachau Meek PLC, Tachau has a long history of supporting inclusive civil and constitutional rights.  Most recently, beginning in 2006, he took on injustice by representing KFA and others in stopping the Kentucky General Assembly from granting the University of the Cumberlands, a private, religion-based institution, $11 million to open a pharmacy school.  The case is now on appeal before the Supreme Court of Kentucky, awaiting decision following oral arguments. 

Join us in honoring this year's "Amper&and" Award recipient at Out & About in Elizabethtown on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Previous recipients include Governor Steven L. Beshear (2008) and the University of Louisville (2007).
