Monthly insights
Thoughts from Pat Baillie, Associate Director of Training & Professional Development
I hope everyone got home safely from the Summit! It was a fast paced, totally packed week in Los Angeles. The Out & Equal team did it once again with the help of sponsors, volunteers, presenters and all of you incredible attendees. There were so many workshops that were value added and even though Stephen, Angela and I made it to a lot of them, there was so much more to learn. It was also great to meet so many Out & Equal University attendees during the week. I realized that having my picture on those webinars made it easy for you to find me! We also added over 50 new trainers to the Trainer's Network with Tuesday's Train the Trainer LGBT Leadership Diversity course. Thanks to all our trainers - Sheryl, Terry, Ann, Jamison and Julie - who made the Out & Equal workshops so sucessful. Be sure to join us on Oct 28 for our 2010 Summit Wrap Up Town Call to review all the highlights.
Besides the programming, the Summit is so much about the people and networking. My highlight moment was when one ERG president thanked me for the insights in these editorials that helped their ERG get through some tough times! We sometimes don't realize what a difference it makes to share ourthoughts. Take a few minutes to reflect on your Summit "highlight" moments and share them on the professional network, Out & Equal Workplace Summit Facebook fanpage, email or the old fashioned way - talking to someone. Our stories make a difference and the energy we bring back from the Summit helps us get through our own tough times and reach the next level in our personal and professional lives.
Didn't make it to the Summit? We are going to select the top workshops and run a webinar series we will call the "Virtual Summit" through Out & Equal University in 2011. The knowledge we gain is vital to making changes in the workplace and making it easily accessible expands our reach and impact.
I look forward to hearing from each of you!

It is hard to explain the Summit experience but if you go, you know it is more than the sum of workshops, plenary speakers, sponsors and exhibitors. See what it was all about, add data into your trip report and see what's next during this month's town call.

News for Out & Equal certified trainers
Welcome to our new Out & Equal trainers. Over 50 attendees got a chance to learn the business case material from the LGBT Diversity Leadership material as well as concepts, terminology, training, facilitating, telling your story and insights into the LGBT local, state, federal and global perspectives.
The Trainer's Network is growing and is there for you to expand the work of LGBT workplace equality. If each trainer taught some portion of the material each month, we would build understanding, create allies and find ways to make changes within our corporations and organizations. We asked this class of trainers to name the Number #1 issue for LGBT employees today and let us know what they needed to move forward on their goals. Watch for this report soon as we share our insights. If you want to send in your perspective, drop me an email with your thoughts.
This month's Trainer's Forum will look back at the Summit and what we learned and then what we still need to learn about. Whether you attended or not, join in the discussion as we begin to shape our 2011 training plans!
