Hear these accounts from Black voices in our LGBTQ communities July 11-13, 7-9pm.

**What is T Time?**
T Time is a community networking night for transgender and gender diverse professionals and community members. We create intentional space for transgender and gender diverse folks to connect, learn, and grow as professionals and people. T Time is an excellent way to meet civic and community leaders, build relationships with other trans folks and take advantage of opportunities to increase personal and professional networks through social, educational, and philanthropic events.
A priority of our programming is to be inclusive of everyone’s professional experiences and to build bridges between all identities of the LGBTQ and allied communities. Our trans and gender diverse networking nights are open to all industries, from tech to corporate to the nonprofit sector to blue-collar, all are welcome!
**I don’t identify as trans or gender diverse. Can I still attend?**
Transgender and gender diverse networking events are tailored towards and exclusively for transgender and gender diverse folks. We use this as an umbrella term that extends to all of our trans community. We only ask for you to respect that this event is not intended for cisgender members or allies. If you are interested in supporting GSBA’s transgender and gender diverse programming, please email Eli Coffin (they, them / he, him) elic@thegsba.org.
