This annual event brings an innovative approach to building a more skilled and connected network of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and allied leaders who are empowered to achieve and protect LGBTQ equality in their local communities across the state of Wisconsin. The Trans Leadership Institute will be held on Sunday, February 21st, 2016. The purpose of the Trans Leadership Institute (TLI) is to build a more trans inclusive movement for equality by bringing leaders, activists, significant others, friends, families and allies together from around the state to work on creating policy, legislation and environments that are inclusive of transgender and gender non-conforming people.
