The reception and dinner are part o f the national organizations annual meeting, which will he held from 3 to 5 p.m. Alm ost 100 mem bers from across the country are expected to visit. Executive director Kirsten Kingdon said the organization looks for a meeting location where PFLAG would he welcome and an area with a strong state council and local chapters. She said Portland particularly was chosen because of the Oregon Citizens A lliance’s anti-gay Measure 9, which members fear could lead to similar laws across the country. PFLA G ’s Oregon State Council was one of the first to form, Kingdon said. Sh e said mem bers were forced to organize because of earlier anti-gay ballot measures in 1992 and 1994. In addition to annual housekeeping, includ ing the election of new board members, the meeting will include strategic planning sessions with both the Oregon and Washington state councils. Several pending changes to P F L A G ’s bylaws will be addressed as well. Among them is a bylaw to recognize non- geographical affiliates of PFLA G such as the 1 j Transgender Network. Kingdon said that some groups reach people throughout the country and that officially sanctioning them would offer more support and make growth easier.
