US, AZ: Volunteers Needed to Staff Trans Conference
Wingspan's Southern Arizona Gender Alliance (SAGA) is seeking volunteers to help with the IFGE 2008 international Transgender conference that will be coming to the Doubletree Inn Reid Park April 1-5, 2008. SAGA is the local host committee. The conference will feature more than 100 educational seminars, a variety of social activities, and much more. Transgender activist Jamison Green will present the keynote address, with opening remarks by Mayor Robert Walkup (R-Tucson) and Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ).
For more information about the conference, visit http://www.transeventsusa.org/ifge
