Out & Equal Workplace Advocates is pleased to announce that the 2010 Out & Equal Executive Forum is set for April 19-21 at the Le Parker Meridien in New York City.

The Executive Forum—now in its third year—is designed for high-ranking and emerging lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender corporate leaders from around the world to engage one another on emerging trends and topics.

The Executive Forum brings LGBT executives and leaders together for a unique, two-day experience to build connections, address challenges and opportunities, and take home tangible ways to enhance their effectiveness as leaders.

Co-chairs of the Executive Forum this year are Tara Bunch and George Kalogridis. Bunch, past President and a member of Out & Equal's Board of Directors, is the Vice President of Global Customer Support Operations at HP. Kalogridis was recently promoted to President of Disneyland Resort, and has worked at Disney for 38 years.

Christie Hardwick will again serve as lead facilitator for the Executive Forum, which will feature two inspiring plenary sessions, group work sessions and panel discussions. The Executive Forum conclude with the Leadership Celebration, which includes a reception and special dinner.

This year, the Executive Forum, with only a limited number of seats available, is offering two classes — one for C-suite and high-ranking LGBT corporate executives, and the other for LGBT corporate leaders on the fast-track to executive roles within their companies.

Transgender leaders, as well as leaders from communities of color, are strongly encouraged to apply.

If you have any questions about the Executive Forum or the Leadership Celebration, please contact Associate Director of Summit & Events Anthony Bannon at 415-694-6516.

Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Please contact Director of Development & Communications Sherrie Holmes at 415-694-6508 to learn more about how you and your company can participate.
