New Staff at the Center
The GLCCB is pleased to welcome two new
staff members, Lamont Bryant and Tiffane Hopkins,
who are Program Associates working directly with
GLCCB Programs. Their function is to support
existing programming at the GLCCB and develop
additional programming to meet the needs of the
community. Both joined the staff of the GLCCB in August.
Lamont Bryant is currently a graduate student at the
University of Baltimore in the Applied Behavioral
Science program. He works at the GLCCB through a
collaborative effort with the university's Federal
Work Study program. He directly coordinates the
Directing In-need Gay Youth To Services (DIGYTS)
hotline which is staffed by trained peer counselors.
He also provides support to Tran*Quility, The Chosen
Ones, and the newly formed Gender Identity Group
(GIG) as well as the GLCCB?s mental health programming.
Tiffane Hopkins is currently an undergraduate
student at Coppin State University. She joins the
GLCCB through a collaborative effort between the
Family Advocacy Services Career Training program and
Kevon?s Room. She holds the position of Secretary
for the Youth Board of Kevon?s Room, a local GLBT
youth organization. She also provides support to the
Women of Color Group, Women?s Coming Out Group,
Lesbian Movie Night / Potluck, Kevon?s Room and the
newly formed ?L? Room which is a group for young
women at the Center.
Both Program Associates are also in charge of
coordinating an upcoming free monthly speaker series
at the GLCCB on various topics of interest to the
GLBT community. The monthly series is set to begin
in November.

GLCCB Introduces New Membership Program
|
|
This fall, the Center will unveil a new membership
program that will reward supporters with benefits
tailored to their level of giving. This campaign
will kick off as part of the Center's annual appeal
mailing in November.
Memberships start at $35, with additional benfits at
each level ranging from discounts at local
merchants, computer classes, to professional
services like estate or financial consultations.
Members will receive a card from the Center valid
for one year which can be presented to the business
to show they are a Center Member.
The Center is partnering with businesses and
professionals that work with(in) the GLBT community
to secure these benefits as a way of saying "thank
you" to its supporters. Not only will contributors
be sustaining one of the oldest GLBT community
centers in country, but at the same time they will
have the opportunity to connect with businesses that
are affirming.
New benefits will be added ongoingly, and there is a
membership level to fit almost every budget. Watch
your mailbox in the coming weeks. To receive
information on the various levels offered and their
associated benefits, or if you have a business and
would like to participate in the program, contact
the Center at (410) 837-5445 x 16.
