Whitman-Walker Clinic and our community partners are pleased to invite you to attend the Empowerment through Health: Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Wellness Conference. This conference will bring together a diverse group of lesbians, bisexual women and transgender men and women of varied ages, backgrounds and experiences. Together we will explore the unique aspects of our well-being and health needs, and how to advocate for ourselves with regard to our health care.

The conference will feature a health and wellness fair and workshops and speakers on health and wellness topics pertinent to the LBT community. The Conference will feature an electrifying and empowering keynote address by investment strategies expert Charlotte Stallings. Ms. Stallings is the former Vice President of Investment Strategies and National Spokesperson for American Express and has developed a national investment and financial planning initiative for women.
