Wed, 29 Apr 2009 09:55:50 -0700 Upcoming 60 en-us About the Bi Health Summit: The Bisexual Health Summit is a grassroots, community-oriented meeting designed for community health workers, activists, and other interested community members. The purpose is to come together and share knowledge about health issues affecting bisexuals and men and women who have multi-gendered sexuality, and to build health advocacy skills among bisexual people and our allies.

Join fellow advocates, professionals, activists, and concerned people from across the US and beyond for an update on the field of bisexual health with an emphasis on knowledge-sharing, movement-building, and strategizing about future directions in bisexual health.

Programming: The Bi Health Summit is being held in conjunction with the 2009 National LGBTI Health Summit, and will be both a concentrated, one-day event on August 14th, and a broader presence within the larger conference.

Topics will include, but not be limited, to the following areas:

• Clinical care – who serves the bisexual community and how is it best served?
• Community initiatives – what are the latest strategies?
• Research – what have we learned and what do we still need to explore?
• Education and training – what models are being used and are they working?
• Publications – learn the latest about resources on this topic
• Advocacy and policy work – what next steps should the movement for bisexual health take?

Leadership: The co-chairs are Julie Ebin (Fenway Community Health, Boston, MA), Luigi Ferrer (VP BiNet USA, Miami, FL), and Jennifer Bonardi (Boston, MA). Collective members include Stewart Landers (Boston, MA) and Ed Negron (Chicago, IL).

Each year the conference is held in a different region of the United States, attracting at least 2,000 to 3,000 attendees from all over the country and is considered a unique environment where activists and leaders come together from diverse places and backgrounds to create a unique community that is both strengthening and inspiring to the participants. Since 1988, Creating Change has been the opportunity for thousands of committed people to develop and hone their skills, celebrate victories, build community, and to be inspired by visionaries of our LGBT movement and other movements for justice and equality.

The primary goal of the Creating Change Conference is to build political power from the ground up to secure our overarching goal of full equality, social justice and dignity for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in the United States. Over the five days of the Creating Change Conference the conference program presents a dozen day-long institutes, sophisticated trainings in the Academy for Leadership and Action, approximately 130 workshops and caucus sessions, keynote plenary sessions, film screenings, meetings, receptions, social events, and a multitude of opportunities for attendees to meet and learn from each other.

---------------------
And while there please join BiNet USA and other Bisexual, Fluid, Pansexual and allied Groups and Activists at the Bisexual Caucus at the 2010 Creating Change Conference.

The Plenary sessions provide a common meeting ground for the conference to explore current issues in the LGBT community and our Community will be tabling as well as giving a variety of presentations.

Please join us as we meet to discuss issues of importance to us as a Community, interact and introduce ourselves to members of the greater LGBT Community and all gather to work together on issues of importance to us as a whole.

---------------------
Creating Change is a wonderful (as well as a useful & informative) not to be missed experience that EVERYONE should try to attend at least once.
