Hi Friend,


In celebration of Eliza Byard’s twenty years at the helm of GLSEN, we will say farewell with a special GLSEN Respect Celebration on October 14th 2021! [[link removed]]


This year, there will be one virtual Respect event combining the New York and Los Angeles events into an amazing one-time only evening. We will highlight and honor her visionary leadership and bring together so many of the stories of LGBTQ+ students she and GLSEN have impacted. In the four-month lead-up to the event, there will be virtual VIP events and a video campaign highlighting the many students and educators impacted by GLSEN’s mission. We would love to include you in all of the festivities.
