In “Transgender 101,” Elaine will explain what transgenderism is, key statistics and challenges of the community, recent trends, and how we can all be good allies to transgender people.

Dr. A.J. Attar is our Speaker
In 2013, fewer than 200 American citizens died or were injured by acts of terror. But many millions were subjected to horrible diseases or died from food-borne illnesses. Our government spends billions of dollars every year on anti-terrorism activities while the budgets for protecting our food supply have been steadily cut. This is a national crisis, but there are simple ways to make significant changes.
Come hear Dr. A.J. Attar, international award winning scientist, author, and President and CEO of Appealing Products Inc. and ChemSee.com speak about the paradigm shift he believes is required in our overall approach to testing for toxins in our food supply and prioritizing the safety of our citizens.
