Update!

Hey Everyone!
So here's a little update to bring everyone up to speed...

We've had a couple of meetings thus far, and we're super-excited about Unity! We settled on a name for this year's conference:

Sweet T: Transgressing, Transforming, and Transcending Gender and Sexuality in the South

So as you can see, we'll be focusing on gender issues and trans issues this year - we're pumped to swing the spotlight around and generate some active and much-needed discussion!

In the meantime we're starting to get into the nitty-gritty parts of planning, breaking tasks into specific chunks for committee members to take on, brainstorming fundraising ideas and thinking about the big things we'd like to see happen in April. We're really looking to bring the grassroots networking back to Unity, and we want to get some highly participatory workshops for all you fine folks.

Hopefully everyone is having a wonderful October, and we'll keep you posted!!! See you in April!
