MESSAGE REGARDING NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATION

“Springboard, its Executives, personnel and contractors do not support the views and the recent rulings by Governor McCrory and the North Carolina legislature or anyone else who supports the Governor’s view. We believe everyone deserves to be welcomed, valued, respected and heard. We are against discrimination of any kind, and are extremely disappointed and concerned with these recent legislative actions.

We favor laws that encourage open and effective collaboration, not those that seek to gain by dividing instead of uniting all people.

Springboard greatly supports the LGBT Community; they are our clients, partners, neighbors and most importantly, our friends. Springboard’s 2016 Disability Matters Conference and Awards Gala will go on as planned in support of the disability community which is inclusive of LGBT. We look forward to seeing everyone there.”

Nadine O. Vogel
Chief Executive Officer

CONFERENCE DAY-1		Jane Fernandes, President, Guilford College
