GLAA gets early start on meeting mayoral candidates Officials with the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance met on March 13 with AT WHO'S GOT WASHINGTON'S D.C. mayoral hopeful Sharon Pratt Dixon to discuss issues of interest to the Gay community, according to GLAA President Roger Doughty. Doughty called the meeting, held in Dixon's office at the Potomac Electric Power Company,"highly productive." Dixon is expected to declare her candidacy for mayor within the next several weeks. She currently holds the post of vice president for community affairs at PEPCO. She served from 1984 to 1988 as treasurer of the Democratic National Committee. GLAA's meeting with Dixon comes a year earlier than the group's traditional election year meetings with political candidates. Doughty said the group decided to begin meeting mayoral and council candidates sooner to ensure that chal- lengers are given ample opportunity to present their views on Gay rights and AIDS issues. "We're expanding our options," said GLAA member Craig Howell, who noted that GLAA and other Gay groups were angry with D.C. Mayor and the Council last year over decisions on an AIDS insurance bill, a Georgetown University bond measure, and the Armstrong amendment, which threatened to weaken the city's Gay rights law. "This doesn't mean we're writing off the incumbents," said Doughty. "It does mean we're exploring other candidates." In addition to Doughty and Howell, those who met with Dixon included former GLAA President Lorri L. Jean, GLAA Vice President Mindy Daniels, and members Tom Ainora and . —Lou Chibbaro Jr. Alexandria group elects new president, sets goals The Alexandria Gay Community Association this month elected Nor- thern activist David Bouk as its new president Bouk, a 27-year resident of Alexandria, has been in- 1429G Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20005 strumental in starting up the new 11-6 statewide organization, for Monday-Friday 10-6.

Also elected this month was John Scott, as the organization's vice presi- dent for administration, and Jeff Hud- son,'as vice president for programs. Ralph Jamigan and Charles• Nason were reelected as AGCA's treasurer and secretary, respectively. David Bouk .Bouk said the organization hopes to launch its familiar educational advertis- ing campaign—which has appeared in local and Richmond on D.C.'s Metro subway cars this June in conjunction with Gay Pride celebrations. To do so, said Bouk, AGCA is looking to raise $7,000 to cover subway ad space rental and poster production.

Outgoing AGCA President chairs city advisory board David Keltner, outgoing president of the Alexandria Gay Community As- sociation, was elected chairman of the Alexandria Social Services Advisory Board March 20. Keltner was elected by the other 12 members of the advisory board, which provides guidance to the city manager on social welfare programs, including Medicare payments for people and home-based social services for people with AIDS. Keltner has been a member of the advisory board for two years.
