We are excited to announce that Gender Diversity is seeking a full-time, salaried Conference Coordinator for our annual conference series which includes Gender Odyssey, Gender Odyssey Family, and GO Professional.  The ideal candidate will be a person who wants to change the lives of trans people for the better and recognizes that it takes hard work, dedication, organization, and an unflappable spirit to do so. We seek a strong, confident person that understands it takes a village to raise a powerful community event like Gender Odyssey. Our candidate will have a demonstrated understanding of the complexities and needs of transgender children, youth and adults as well as trans* community-at-large.
