Join The AAPHERD Gay and Lesbian Council
NCAA Considering Adopting Council to represent Gay Issues

In January 2000, the NCAA modified its nondiscrimination policy by adding "sexual orientation" to its list of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, and creed. To help facilitate education and awareness in our allied professions, The Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Issues was formally adopted into the AAALF bylaws on 28 October 2000. AAHPERD Board of Governors (BOG) will vote on the AAALF bylaws changes at the Cincinnati convention in March. In order to demonstrate the real and perceived need for this Council we'd like to have at least 200 members by the March 2000 BOG meeting. We have now about 100 prospective members. If you would like to support this project by becoming a prospective member the, fill out the questionnaire below and mail it in.  There is no commitment beyond the promise to join if and when this Council is formed.

Anyone can join AAHPERD as an Associate Member for $75. If you want to support our Council on LGBT Issues, they should note that and request an affiliation with AAALF (American Association for Active Lifestyles and Fitness), one of the six Associations within the Alliance.  If they return a form to Nancy Bailey at CSUB, they will be contacted after the Council is formed, and will be asked to join at that time. If anybody wants to join in the meantime, the address is AAALF; 1900 Association Drive, Reston, Virginia 20191 (toll free phone: 1-800-213-7193)
