Mon, Aug 16 @6:30PM - LGBT Veterans Advocacy

On Monday, Aug 16 at 6:30 PM, we will hold an online/in-person hybrid meeting at Shoal Creek Saloon.  Our speaker will be Zander Keig on LGBT Veteran Advocacy.

 

Zander has been an advocate for LGBT Veterans since his discharge from the US Coast Guard in November 1988. Although now a transsexual man, Zander was a lesbian while serving in the military and since he enlisted prior to the enactment of the Don't Ask Don't Tell (DADT) policy by President Clinton he was not at liberty to live openly.  Zander has served on the Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) board of directors (2015-2020), worked for both the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense as a social worker, developed transition guidelines for transgender employees at the VA, designed and delivered clinical continuing education and case presentations focused on LGBT Veteran experiences, and presented at national conferences on the specific and unique needs of LGBT Veterans seeking medical, counseling, and community services.
