“The organization annually sends out a conflicts of interest policy to its board members, officers and key employees and requests a signed disclosure form from each covered individual. Any disclosed conflict is reviewed by the general counsel. If a conflict does exist on a specific issue, meeting minutes reflect the board action to clear the conflict, either by having the affected board member, officer or key employee recuse themselves from the discussion or vote or remove themselves from all deliberations. This policy also applies to employees. All director-level staff certify annually they have reviewed the policy and have no potential conflicts to report. If a conflict is reported, it is reviewed by general counsel who resolves the conflict.”

“The public education & research program produces written resources and conducts original quantitative and qualitative research exploring the lived experiences of lgbtq+ people. In fy22, the team released a number of new resources and research products. Just before juneteenth, the team released a report that highlights the prevalence and impact of discrimination on black lgbtq+ people. In partnership with leading health and policy organizations, pe&r also released a new report detailing the urgent need for lgbtq+ inclusive sex education. For bi+ visibility day, the pe&r team created a new fully digital bi+ coming out guide that discusses what it means to be bisexual, terms, frequently asked questions and more. They also created a new resource for parents and youth-serving professionals -- online communities and lgbtq+ youth. As part of their series on the impact of covid-19 and the lgbtq+ community, the team released two new research briefs: "lgbtq+ health equity & covid-19: building trust and confidence for the health of our communities" (november 2021) and "lgbtq+ health equity & covid-19: vaccines, boosters and pathways to positive long-term health (march 2022), based on our ongoing partnership with community marketing insight and supported by the rockefeller foundation. The team released their report on "the wage gap among lgbtq+ workers in the united states," the first estimate of wage disparities faced by lgbtq+ americans, as well as entered a partnership with the equal pay today roundtable, a coalition of organizations fighting to close the wage gap. The team also released "understanding poverty in the lgbtq+ community," a public education resource synthesizing research findings and data points on poverty and other markers of economic insecurity faced by lgbtq+ americans. The team released their annual fatal violence report (covering 2020 data) and an update to the resource dismantling a culture of violence. The team continues to track incidents of fatal violence among transgender and non-binary people, recording in 2021 the highest number of incidents (57) since tracking began. The team also released a new chatbot to help navigate conversations around transgender sports participation and policies, and a report targeted at the media and influencers to urge better coverage and visibility of transgender people/issues ("trans lives & positive visibility how news & media can positively cover trans and non-binary stories"). The religion and faith program works to provide resources and tools for faith communities and their leaders to advance lgbtq+ equity and justice within houses of worship, parochial higher education, faith-based organizations, and in the public square. In fy22, as covid-19 vaccination rates increased across the united states, it became clear that there were disparities in comfort with the vaccines and outreach was needed for the lgbtq+ community. The r&f team supported an extensive vaccination campaign in partnership with the white house, made to save, and the national cathedral. In the 2022 national survey of lgbtq+ teens, in partnership with the university of connecticut, they have developed several questions that look at the connection to and involvement in faith communities. Additionally, in the national survey of parents and caregivers of transgender and non-binary children, they are assessing whether their affiliation with a faith community changed once their child self-identified as trans or non-binary, and/or if they pursued a more welcoming faith community. The transgender justice initiative (tji) is an innovative program in its second year, and leads economic empowerment programs, capacity-building initiatives, community engagement efforts, and public safety education campaigns that combat the discrimination faced by transgender people. In fy22, tji provided a number of community-based organizations with free lyft coupons, with a focus on supporting organizations that are trans run and trans servi”

“The youth well-being program provides professional development to over 10,000 youth-serving professionals annually, through the time to thrive conference, webinars, participation at major national convenings, and by amplifying the stories of hrc youth ambassadors. The program also convenes hrc's parents for transgender equality council. In fy22, this team continued their work with project thrive, growing to include over 30 partner organizations and holding monthly webinars on topics ranging from supporting trans and non-binary children to physical education for lgbtq+ youth and much more. They also held their 9th annual time to thrive conference virtually on february 8-10, 2022. There were over 1,300 attendees at the various workshops and plenary sessions. Over 75 percent of time to thrive workshop presenters were bipoc folks, far surpassing the team's goal of diversifying the racial makeup of time to thrive workshop presenters. The program also leads the parents for transgender equality council (ptec), for which they held a convening in march. Ptec members have participated in numerous hrc events, have given testimony at their state's capital, engaged in media opportunities to address these increased political attacks. Finally, the youth well-being team helped launch the first-ever national survey of parents/caregivers of transgender and non-binary youth, in partnership with researchers at the university of arizona and the university of florida and the 2022 national survey of lgbtq+ teens in partnership with the university of connecticut.”
