Speakers Bureau

Members of Equality Maricopa are available to speak to your college classroom or at your college event on a range of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) issues. Topics could include: coming out, discrimination, hate crimes, sexual orientation, gender identity, stereotypes, personal stories, legal status and protections, and how to be an ally. We are open to other LGBT issues as well.

If you are interested in having a speaker in your class, please contact Lori B. Girshick at lori.girshick@cgcmail.maricopa.edu and we'll see if we can accommodate your request.
