You are invited to the upcoming meeting of the SE Regional LGBT+ Committee 11am – 1pm and SE Regional LGBT+ network event 2pm – 3.30pm on Saturday 11 May 2024. As it is the Year of LGBT+ workers, we will also be holding an online network event 2pm – 3.30pm where you can meet the committee members, ask questions and find out more about UNISON’s Year of LGBT+ workers and how you can get involved. This is scheduled to be an online Teams meeting.
Both the committee meeting and network event are open to all LGBT+ members. If you aren’t a committee member, please feel free to just join us in the afternoon for the network event, we would love to see you.
Please confirm by 5pm on Wednesday 24 April 2024 if you wish to attend or convey your apologies, by emailing committee administrator Kai Duffy.
Meeting Details
The LGBT+ Committee meeting and network event will take place as follows. The agenda, any meeting documentation and Teams link will be sent out two weeks before, in line with UNISON’s access standards.
The meeting is open to members of the SOG (any members who identify as LGBT+) but only committee members are entitled to vote on items.
We recommend all committee members login at 10:50am, ten minutes before the formal start time to gather and resolve any technical issues.
