Goals and Objectives for the Upcoming Year

In addition, the 2007-2008 retreat allowed us to set our sights on goals and objectives for the coming year. These fall under the categories of training, supporting GSAs, promoting conferences, as well as a number of new ideas such as refining our facilitation skills, developing an online newsletter, and writing a proposal to present at the September 2008 PFLAG conference.
