The National Coalition for LGBT Health hopes you will join your colleagues from around the country at the Spring Meeting in Washington, DC from Sunday, March 13 to Tuesday, March 15, 2005. This will be the official kickoff meeting for the National LGBT Health Awareness Week (March 13-19, 2005).

At this meeting we will be having a special briefings and panels on the status and challenges of the LGBT health movement by strategically approaching Members of Congress and HHS Agencies, and creating our health agenda as we consider post-election and enter 2005. Current panels include: CDC January Crystal Meth Meeting Update, Lesbian Health Summit Report, Federal Update: LGBT Health and the Second Term of the Bush Administration, and more. Evening receptions will allow you to mix with your peers after the hard work.

The Coalition is committed to improving the health and well being of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and communities through public education, coalition building and advocacy that focuses on research, policy, education and training. The focus of this meeting will be advancing the Coalition's common interest, as stated in Healthy People 2010, at the White House, Department of Health and Human Service, Congress and other entities.
