I found that if you are going to put your legal name on documents and then show up in opposite sex clothing, maybe they should have said something during the interview or right after.  It shouldn't make a difference during the interview but does change how you would want to be addressed.  I remember a time in school when I didn't know and I justed the given pronoun of she and was yelled at by another student for not using the pronouns he, him.  I was mortified that I was yelled at in front of 15 students.  So I feel… >>>

I think it is important for someone to come out only if they feel comfortable, and no one should ever be shamed or forced to indulge  information about the sexual preference. I feel that each individual should research the company and know what or if they have any policys around LGBTQ 

I like the idea of using mentors within the LGBTQ community.  I think with the right combination that could be a benefit not only for the student but for the mentor.  I like this idea and would love to see this done in my school.

Understanding the laws will be helpful in helping our student population.  I truly believe that everyone should be treated equal and that it shouldn't matter what your sexual preference is.  I see so much shaming with the public school system.  However I don't see it as much in our CTE programs.

This has helped me learn some new ways to keep members engaged.  I will definitly use this for our next board meeting.

I never realized how many steps there are to Motions.  I will definitly share that with my staff.

I knew some of the information, however I attended my very first board meeting this fall.  We were served dinner while we met.  I liked the idea of dinner but found no one talked while eating and the whole event lasted 2.5 hours.  I think I would recommend that we move everything up to start earlier, that way we aren't out till 8 pm at night after working all day.

I found this interesting as  I am still learning all of this.  I however don't think my school goes through the nomination process and then to our director.  I will be having a conversation with him to get clarification.

I learned many lots of new things that I didnt know before,  I have downloaded all the PDF's and will use them when I do pre interview prep

I learned about the STAR method, but I was amazed that I had never heard of a group interview.
