Welcome to the GLBTA Summit
The GLBT community is rich with diversity - reaching across all cultural lines - representing an expansive talent pool of workers and a consumer segment with purchasing power of over $712 billion. Organizations are facing a challenging environment in which they must balance sound business principles with equitable employee policies in order to remain competitive.
To be the best in today’s market requires organizations to thoroughly understand how all employees and customers fit into their strategic plans. Their GLBT resources are no exception.
The GLBTA Summit Planning Committee has been hard at work for several months to bring you an inaugural program in South Florida – one that not only promotes the advancement of workplace equality for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender people and their allies and partners, but also provides value to today’s leading organizations. Whether you are a Human Resources or Diversity professional, a people manager, or an individual contributor, or a small business owner, you will leave our educational sessions with a better understanding of the Florida GLBTA climate, ready to advance the conversation taking place regarding inclusive workplaces, and boost your competitive edge.
Our hope is that you come prepared for a stimulating dialogue on issues that affect GLBT individuals, their allies, and their employers. We look forward to your participation in these timely conversations. See you at the Summit!
Best regards,
