A press release about the launch of ATP crossed my desk the other day, which read in part:
New York, NY, June 7, 2013 – The Association of Transgender Professionals (ATP), was formally dedicated this week, according to ATP Executive Director, Denise Norris and endorsed by a national advisory board of voluntary leaders and allies.
The association is intended primarily to serve people who have, had or will have non-conforming gender expressions/identities and seek to advance their professional careers.
The goal of this group is to encourage the networking and mentoring which strengthens careers and promotes the next generation of leaders.
To learn more about the Association of Transgender Professionals and its vision and goals, please visit www.transgenderprofessionals.org and view an introductory video on You Tube.
It seems they’ve also received a Calamus challenge grant for $25k, which means that every dollar donated will be matched by Calamus.
Good luck to you, ATP!
