Thoughts from Pat Baillie, Associate Director of Training & Professional Development
Summer is over and we are getting ready for the Summit in Los Angeles. This year, I had the opportunity to be much more involved in the review and selection of workshops, and it really showed just how much expertise exists in the field. It will be a tough choice this year with so many great workshops! But even if you can't make it to the Summit, this is a good time to evaluate what is next for your personal and professional development.
In June I attended the UCLA LGBT Leadership course and just completed my Leadership Action Plan and the five month program. It really helped me focus on what I need to work on next and how I can do a better job in the training department.
What are your current career goals? What do you desire to learn next? Perhaps it's becoming an LGBT Diversity Leadership trainer. If so, Train the Trainer is being offered at the Summit, or you can see if your local Regional Affiliates has a course scheduled. Check out what is available online.
Going into fall, challenge yourself! What can you do to heighten your understanding? Take courses at the Summit that advance your knowledge around transgender, bisexual, and people of color issues, current research, or the global LGBT perspective. If you can't join us in Los Angeles, see what's available in your community OR bring those perspectives in by setting up courses. You don't have to do it all, just take one step and keep on learning.
Sincerely,

Federal Careers: Realizing a Growing LGBT Presence (co-hosted by Out & Equal CareerLink)
Jobs are tight! Looking for a new career? For many LGBT employees, the thought of working for the government has never come to mind. But new LGBT groups are forming in almost every government agency, and the government is working to provide more and more benefits as well as job stability.

We will also have the Victory Fund on the call to talk about the Presidential Appointment program and how to get involved in the program.

News for Out & Equal certified trainers
When we think of training, we think of getting up in front of a class, going through our outline, and relaying information to those attending. But training is so much more than that! The traditional training process includes analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation, formerly known as Instructional Systems Design (ISD). National training organizations such as American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) and the International Society for Performance Improvement (ISPI) include other steps, but essentially the process is the same.
Once you have identified what's needed, it is much easier to design short training modules or find resources needed to move forward toward LGBT workplace inclusion.
