| Dear Chapter Leader, As a reminder, in partnership with Promise54, PFLAG is gathering insights to help us determine where we are with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and to develop a plan to ensure that PFLAG is a place where everybody belongs. If you haven’t already, please complete a brief survey by Friday, September 19th, to share your experiences with DEI at PFLAG. All data collected from the survey will be anonymous. Reminder: Please do not share this survey with your members by email or post it to social media; we will circulate out to all members and supporters of PFLAG, including chapter members. Thank you for your participation and support in taking this survey! For more information, read the survey FAQ. Have further questions? Contact the Promise54 team! Jamie Curtis (she/her)

| | Annual Meeting/Board Ballot Reminder |
| Have you cast your PFLAG National Board of Directors ballot yet? Your ballot is due back by no later than Monday, September 30th. Cast your ballot today! Ballots which cannot be identified as being cast by a member in good standing will be disqualified. Members in good standing include all individuals of a household whose dues are current as local chapter members, or any person who has paid their PFLAG National membership fee of $50 within the last 24 months. Results will be reported at the PFLAG National Annual meeting, which will take place virtually on Sunday, October 6th at 5pm ET/2pm PT. If you have not yet RSVP'd to attend the PFLAG National Annual meeting, RSVP here. This will be an invigorating and informative annual meeting, as we take a look at the incredibly important year ahead. You will also hear from our incoming board chair, Edith Guffey (she/her). It promises to be an exciting gathering, and to attend, you must be registered; you will receive a link to the meeting in your confirmation email. Thank you for casting your vote and we look forward to seeing you on Sunday, October 6th. |

| PFLAG Academy Online: September 2024 |
| Thursday, September 26, 2024 | 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT: PFLAG Votes 2024: Know Your Rights as a PFLAG Voter As we race toward the general election, it is important for PFLAG voters and LGBTQ+ advocates to know their rights as they head to the polls. Especially since in many states how you vote, where you vote, when you’re able to vote, and what you’ll need to cast a ballot may have changed in recent years. Join this month’s PFLAG Academy Online workshop to learn more about our rights as voters and participate in an engaging “Ask Me Anything” conversation with PFLAG’s Advocacy team. Register today!
