Bob Hughes (he/him) is the Fundraising Manager (and a former listening volunteer) at Switchboard, the national LGBTQIA+ support line.
With a background in education, the charity sector and LGBTQIA+ rights, Bob is passionate about EDI and community support, and in particular, about how active listening allows people to have agency to make their own decisions and check their own assumptions.
Bob will be talking about the last 50 years of history of both Switchboard and the LGBTQIA+ community, and what lessons we can learn from recent trends and statistics in Switchboard’s conversations.
Attendance is free but registrants are requested to make a donation to Switchboard. There will also be an opportunity to donate at the in-person event.
