NGLTF Continues History of Inclusion

TGs Added To Major Gay Group Mission Statement


WASHINGTON, DC---September 19, 1997

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) today announced the adoption of a new mission and vision statement. In addition, the organization announced the election of new board co-chairs and the appointment of three new members to its board of directors.

At a September 13 meeting, the board adopted new language for its mission and vision statements. The newly approved mission statement reads: "The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force works to eliminate prejudice, violence and injustice against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people at the local, state and national level." The language in the new vision statement reads: "As part of a broader social justice movement for freedom, justice and equality, we are creating a world that respects and celebrates the diversity of human expression and identity and where all people may fully participate in society."

"Our revised mission statement is the result of discussions by our board and staff to add clarity to our work," said Kerry Lobel, executive director of the NGLTF. "As gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people, our future is closely linked to other movements for social justice. We have recommitted ourselves to that important work."
