Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Pride Month (LGBT) – Call for Employees:

I have a little catching up to do since I was out doing my impression of a
beach bum (and let me tell you, I could transform into a full-time beach bum in 2.5 seconds flad!).

Here is a Department notice that was sent out while I was gone. It is gratifying to see the Department treating LGBT Foreign Service families as if they matter!

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Pride Month (LGBT) – Call for Employees:

As in previous years, the Department’s homepage will feature employees in observance of LGBT Month. The theme for this year is “One Heart, One World, One Pride.”

Each profile will include a professional photo of the featured employee with brief biographical information. If you would like to be featured, please send a digital photo of yourself and a brief bio (around 250 words) by May 28, 2010, to the Office of Civil Rights, Diversity Management and Outreach Section at Diversity@state.gov. The website can accommodate 15 participants for each monthly observance. Each employee’s profile will be featured for two days. Please send your submission early to secure a posting. We encourage you to participate as we celebrate the strength of our diversity.
