I am proud to<br />

Stand with Trans<br />

in <strong>2016</strong><br />

and wish the<br />

organization<br />

continued success.<br />

In friendship,<br />

Welcome letter<br />

Welcome!<br />

I am so happy to see all of you here today.<br />

This is our second annual Transgender Youth<br />

Empowerment Workshop. It’s bigger than last<br />

year in so many ways. We have more sessions to<br />

choose from, more facilitators, more support<br />

from some amazing sponsors and we’ve raised<br />

so much more money which will enable us to do<br />

more for you.<br />

Please look at the ads in this program. These are all individuals,<br />

businesses and organizations who fully support transgender<br />

individuals. Many of our sponsors are potential employers; these are<br />

companies who are open and affirming and welcome job applicants<br />

from the LGBTQ community.<br />

“The Stand with Trans mission is to provide the tools needed by<br />

transgender youth so they will be empowered, supported and<br />

validated as they transition to their authentic life.”<br />

We are thrilled to offer this opportunity to you! On behalf of my<br />

family, the Board of Directors and all those who contributed to today’s<br />

workshop, we wish you an amazing day.<br />

With love,<br />

Roz Keith, President and Founder<br />
