We are delighted to have you with us as we celebrate GLMA’s 30th Anniversary! This has been an exciting year for GLMA, with many changes. In addition to a big move from San Francisco to our new home in Washington, DC, we have revamped our membership structure to encourage more healthcare providers to support GLMA’s mission by joining the organization. If you’re not yet a member, we hope you’ll join our community by the end of the conference. Ours is the world’s largest conference for health professionals caring for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons – and for health professionals who are LGBT persons themselves. Indeed, the opportunities for networking and reunions with old colleagues and friends are a major part of GLMA’s Annual Conference. There’s also so much to see and do in “Hotlanta”! Take a behind-the-scenes tour of CNN’s headquarters, visit the Fernbank Museum of Natural History or the King Center for Non-Violent Social Change and—for Gone with the Wind fans—visit the home of author Margaret Mitchell. With numerous restaurants by Top Chefs, Atlanta is a foodie paradise. While there is much to see, do and eat in Atlanta, our Education Committee has compiled a conference program that will be sure to keep your attention inside our funky and fabulous conference hotel! Many of our plenary and workshop sessions will address the intersection of race and ethnicity with issues of sexual orientation and gender identity. This year’s program includes a unique opportunity to hear Surgeons General Regina Benjamin and Joycelyn Elders. We are thrilled to have comedian Kate Clinton as our featured entertainment for this year’s Annual Gala Banquet at the historic Fox Theater. It will be an evening you will be sure to remember! Once again, welcome to Atlanta! We are so glad you have chosen to join us for this educational program and social time together. Rebecca Allison, MD President, Board of Directors Gay & Lesbian Medical Association 2011 7 GLMA Annual Conference • Program of Events Welcome from the Education Committee Chair Dear Conference Attendees, On behalf of the Education Committee, I would like to welcome you to the 29th Annual Conference of the Gay & Lesbian Medical Association. This year’s conference will place special emphasis on the dynamic intersections of sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity and HIV status, and their influence on health disparities. While many attendees primarily work in one specific area, we have intentionally tried to create opportunities for communication between community silos and for each of us to enhance our knowledge of issues outside of our expertise. Our overarching goal for this conference is to move forward an ambitious LGBT health agenda and tackle important educational content with a spirit of collegiality, relaxation and fun! We aim to make this conference feel good and nurturing to your spirit as it challenges your mind. In addition to the rich educational offerings, there are daily opportunities for professional and social networking. We want all conference attendees to leave Atlanta renewed, energized and ready to carry forward a multi- cultural, LGBT heath movement. Together we can create a conference that welcomes all stakeholders in achieving LGBT healthcare equality, including healthcare providers, researchers, academics, policy-makers, activists, community health volunteers and ordinary LGBT people navigating their way through complicated systems of healthcare and
