San Francisco ? More than 2,100 people are expected in the nation?s capital this month for the seventeenth annual Out & Equal Workplace Summit.
Widely recognized as the premier conference on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) workplace equality, the Summit provides a unique opportunity to build alliances that foster safe and equitable work environments for everyone.
The Summit is expected to coincide with a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
As business professionals, community leaders and many of the nation?s most prominent companies, a majority from the Fortune 500, meet to discuss ways to make workplaces safe and accepting of LGBT people, the federal government will consider passing federal legislation that will outlaw employment discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
