Conference Program Ads Due by May 1. Whether you’re able to attend or not, you can show your support and be present at our conference by purchasing ad space in our program. Registration fees cover only a portion of the cost of running the conference and, in an effort to keep registration costs accessible for as many attendees as possible, funding support through ads is essential. Share your message with the Dignity community with an ad in the conference program. Artwork for all ads needs to be submitted by May 1, 2022.

Petition in Support of Nativity School.  Nativity School of Worcester, MA, has been flying the Black Lives Matter and Pride banners along with the American Flag for over a year. However, on April 3, Bishop Robert McManus told the Jesuit school that these flags “deny our Catholic identity” and that they represent things “that stand in contract to consistent Catholic teaching.” Sign the petition today to show your support. We stand with Nativity School in Worcester in wanting our Church to proclaim that every person matters and belongs. Keep those symbols of welcome flying! 

Board of Directors Candidates Forum. We will hold our 2022 Candidates Forum on May 15 from 2pm to 3pm ET. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and hear our candidates share their vision for DignityUSA's future!

Ballots will be sent out in early May, so members should keep an eye on their inboxes.
