This ACLP meet up is for those in the child life profession who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community. This meet up will be an informal gathering and opportunity for people to share their identities in a safe and friendly environment while also creating connections and beginning discussions. This is not a training, town hall, or facilitated conversation. There will not be an agenda, it will not be recorded and there will not be a summary or notes released at a later date. This meet up is intended only for people who identify as LGBTQIA+. Allies of these communities are encouraged to respect the need to have a closed event. The LGBTQIA+ meet up is for both ACLP members and non-members
