DESCRIPTION
Hundreds of leaders were actively involved in this strategic planning process that led to this presentation of the document, Celebrating Distinctions, including lay leaders, academic researchers, parents, nonprofit professionals, Jewish educators and rabbis. This work is the direct result of a broad-based community planning effort stemming from the LGBT Study directed by Dr. Caryn Aviv. The additional research for this work was conducted by Samuel Strauss and Lisa Finkelstein in 45 one-on-one meetings with key community stakeholders.
