Dear Friend of the Community Center,
The
LGBT Community Center is pleased to announce that Sean Maloney, Director of
Programming and Community Development, has been selected for the position of
Director of Development and Operations for the National Youth Advocacy
Coalition in Washington, DC.
Sean has served the LGBT community in Central PA
for over a year, and has helped the LGBT Community Center to build sustainable
programs and development efforts. In his new role with NYAC, he will be doing
very similar work for an organization that has helped support programs like
Common Roads all across the country. Sean's last day with the LGBT Community
Center will be July 16th.
While the Board of Directors searches for Sean's replacement, please feel free to contact Louie Marven at lmarven@centralpalgbtcenter.org.
We would like to wish Sean the best of luck as he moves on with his career.
Sincerely, LGBT Community Center Coalition of Central PA |

Center's newest program needs your input
How would you like to be remembered? The LGBT Community
Center Coalition is creating a project that will preserve your legacy for
generations to come!
The LGBT Heritage Project is looking for individuals to
tell the story of their lives growing up as LGBT youth, how an LGBT center (or similar supportive organization) affected
their experiences, and what are their hopes for the future of the LGBT
Community Center Coalition?
Interested in doing an interview, or know someone who
might be? Contact Rebecca Friedberg at (717) 701-9088 or rjf27@sussex.ac.uk to set one up!
