Our National Symposium provides programming and education on LGBTQIA+ issues which pave the path to understanding and overcoming the adversities faced by the LGBTQIA+ community. We focus on increasing community outreach, informing advocacy efforts, and educating the community about the health issues affecting the LGTBQIA+ population.
