Welcome to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada! On behalf of the Board of Directors of Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, Inc. (SNAPI) I would like to welcome you to the 2012 CAPI Conference, “This is it”. Thank you for joining us for this educational and entertaining conference. Over the course of this four day conference, we hope that you will find the workshops both educating and inspiring. We’ve planned in-depth workshops covering every- thing from logistics, sponsorship and marketing to some of the hot issues within the LGBT community today. We will introduce you to some great and experienced presenters that hope to impart some of their knowledge with you. As the saying goes, “caring is sharing”. I would like to thank our host, the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. We appreciate your warm hospitality! Also, it is important that we thank our sponsors because, without your generous contri- butions, we would not be able to produce this annual confer- ence. Thank you fellow SNAPI board members. Thank you Michael and the CAPI Board for all your guidance - It was a lot of hard work but worth it. I hope you all have a great time while you are here in Las Vegas and that you fully enjoy your stay in “Sin City”. Have fun, be safe, and good luck! Mahalo! Ernie “Pineapple” Yuen President Southern Nevada Association of PRIDE, Inc.

Family Apparel is a custom screen printing and embroidery company that has sponsored and participated in several PRIDE Festivals in Arizona, Nevada, California, New Mexico and Utah over the past three years. They feel honored to have had the opportunity to team with many of the region’s PRIDE Festivals. Kathy relocated to Nevada 14 years ago from Indiana. She has years of experience in management, sales and customer service. Brenda relocated to Nevada 6 years ago from California. She has years of experience in accounting and marketing. Both owners have volun- teered on the board of a women’s non-profit organization for a several years. Brenda & Kathy are life partners as well as business partners and two women that love our community. 18 Meet the Presenters Anti-Defamation League Presenting: No Place for Hate The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry in the U.S. and abroad through information, education, legislation, and advocacy.
