<p>The DignityUSA Biennial Convention will be held next year at the Parc 55 Hotel in San Francisco CA from <strong>July 2nd through the 5th 2009</strong>. Over 400 gay lesbian bisexual and transgender Catholics as well as our families and friends are expected to attend.</p> <p>The Convention Committee is now accepting applications for workshop facilitators. The committee invites you to share your experience by submitting a workshop proposal application. We welcome all proposal submissions; however priority will be given to workshops that directly support our mission and vision and that offer a unique perspective on future Church. Applications must be received by <strong>October 17 2008</strong> and responses will be given in two weeks.</p> <p>DignityUSA is a volunteer organization and we are grateful when our presenters are able to volunteer time and experience for the convention. We ask that you tell us what you would request to present at our convention and we will negotiate with you based on need and available resources.</p> <p>If your proposal is accepted for presentation you will be sent a registration packet with detailed information. Please visit the <a href=http://www.dignityusa.org>www.dignityusa.org</a> for an application. Complete the workshop proposal form and submit to DignityUSA at the address/email/fax listed on the application.</p>
