Director of Chapter Engagement | | | |  | | | Reminder: The Chapter Hub will be temporarily closed from September 11-17 as we prepare for the transition to the Member Portal. To ensure a smooth process, please ensure that your chapter board records reflect your current leadership before the freeze period begins. Our new login system will also be tied to your personal email on file, so please ensure the correct email is listed on your records. The new portal will replace the current Chapter Hub, offering you a more user-friendly platform. With this new Membership Portal, you'll not only be able to manage your chapter more efficiently but also handle your National membership seamlessly. In anticipation of the new system launch, we have scheduled a training session for October 3 and you can register now. This session will assist you in smoothly transitioning to the new Membership Portal. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new Membership Portal, please contact Brooke Smith (bsmith@pflag.org). | | | | | STTA Live: September 7, 2023 | | The Power of Media for Bi+ Youth In August, STTA Live moved to a monthly format. We look forward to seeing you on Thursday, September 7th for our next episode! Youth-focused queer media is often seen as a taboo, with representations of bisexuality+ being especially rare. But in 2023, shows like Heartstopper and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series are showing us that bi+ representation in shows for younger viewers is possible. Join us this Thursday, September 7 for Something to Talk About Live! | | | PFLAG Academy Online: September 2023 | | Wednesday, September 20, 2023 | 8:30pm ET/5:30pm PT: Bi+ 101 Allyship: How to Not Let Things Fall Bi the Wayside There is still an unfortunate lack of representation and understanding of the bisexual+ community in the workplace. Statistics show that over 50% of the LGBTQ+ community identifies as bisexual+, including identities such as pansexual, fluid, queer, and more. Participants in this session will learn more about the bisexual+ community, why it’s so important to understand and respect bi+ people, and some tools to be a great bi+ ally. Register now!
