MISSION:
The mission of the Annual Gay-Straight Alliance Conference is to celebrate the diversity and culture of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and allied (LGBTA) communities; collaborate across the spectrum of our identities and experiences; provide a safe forum to discuss challenges, issues and ideas facing LGBTA students today; and empower students to build not only successful student organizations, but healthy and productive lives.

CONFERENCE NEWS:
To accommodate the increasing numbers of students attending the conference, and to continue to make the conference relevant to the needs of the students and advisors who attend, the Iowa Pride Network is calling for workshop proposals (workshop proposals from high school and college students are especially sought, as our aim is to increase the amount of peer-to-peer education and networking. 

Also returning to the conference this year are our College LGBT Group/Organization information tables.  Tables will be set up for Iowa colleges and university LGBT groups and business organizations to display information about their groups and to provide information to prospective students.  If you would like a table for your business, college or university LGBT group, please visit www.iowapridenetwork.org and fill out a College/University Information Table Application.
(A $150 fee for non-college groups is required).

Again, this conference is FREE and is sure to be a tremendous networking and community-building opportunity.  If you or members of your group are able to attend please register online or download the Registration Form and mail it to:
