So What Next? Developing Advanced Ally Skills
When allies face challenges to demonstrating support for the LGBTQ+ community, we may become less visible and vocal. In this session, participants will find out how to transform the reason they’re an ally (or need one) into action, get effective strategies to create conversation about LGBTQ+ equality, and understand how to transform conflict into opportunity.

Whether you’re an ally who is just starting their journey, an ally who has a long history of supporting inclusion efforts, or an LGBTQ+ person looking for ways to grow your own ally skills, we can help. Leveraging PFLAG’s more than 50 years of experience, this session will:
- Review the allyship basics, like terminology and effectively using expansive pronouns, to establish yourself as an ally who is willing to do the work;
- Learn ways to recognize the ally potential in everyone, and better understand the power that allies have to create meaningful change; and
- Discuss common challenges that many allies face AND learn strategies to overcome them
