Hormel. THE CONFERENCE This year's Out and Equal in the 90's conference, "Working it out in the Rockies" will be an educational event designed to provide you with the skills and information needed to partner with workplace America to change the work environment to be a more productive and comfortable place for lesbian, bisexual, and gay workers. The quality of life in EVERY workplace, whether it be corporate, small business, labor, public employment, or nonprofit, is of vital importance. Three powerful tracks are offered in a mix and match format that allows you to tailor the conference to fit your needs. These tracks are "Out and Empowered", "Organizing for Workplace Equality", and "Trends in the Workplace". Sample workshops from each of these three tracks are included in the registration section of this material. The NGLTF Policy Institute and the Colorado host committee are excited to be holding this year's conference in Denver. It seems fitting in light of the recent and continuing struggle to overturn Amendment 2 and the lifting of the national boycott against Colorado.
