Congratulations to the NGLTF and Creating Change
Kick congratulates the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force on the occasion of the 20th annual National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change. Best wishes to Executive Director Matt Foreman on his future endeavors as he leaves his post. Congratulations to all the members of the LGBT community including the Detroit host committee and volunteers for participating and making this event the most successful conference in their history.
I'm proud say that Kick–The Agency for LGBT African-Americans has served as a leading agency in partnership with Creating Change. We will use this valuable experience to further enhance the services we deliver to you, and I will always personally remember this incredible experience as productive, educational, and successful.
Together let's continue to create change!
