[HANNING Darci C * SLO]

Greetings directors!

(Please pass this announcement along to your and pardon any duplicate posts)

Libraries of Eastern Oregon and the State Library of Oregon are pleased to announce the following free online training from Basic Rights Oregon: Transgender Inclusion and Affirmation in the Workplace.

This LGBTQIA2S+ Inclusion training from Basic Rights Oregon will support attendees as they begin their work toward creating a more affirming workplace for all LGBTQIA2S+ coworkers, clients, and more specifically the transgender community. The two goals for this training are to improve LGBTQIA2S+ people's experiences among their organization or community and to educate people on how to create a safer and more affirming place for all. This training will focus on developing the language and understanding attendees may need to engage with LGBTQIA2S+ people in a validating and inclusive way.

The training will take place on Tuesday, June 28, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm via Zoom and space is limited to 50 participants. All Oregon library workers, regardless of geography, library type, or location, are welcome to attend. Please use this form<https://www.cognitoforms.com/StateLibraryOfOregon/TransgenderInclusionAndAffirmationInTheWorkplace> to register - and only register if you can attend for the full 3-½ hours. Registration deadline is June 20th.

The Zoom link and additional information will be emailed to registrants a few days before the training so please save the date and time in your calendar! For more information, visit the training description<https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/conted/edi#s-lib-ctab-24314700-4> web page.
