progress during these conservative politi
cal years. Some of the Conference events
will also chronicle the last decade of
Southern lesbian and gay organizing.
Since the first gathering in Chapel
Hill, the Southeastern Conference has
traveled to Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana,
Florida, and Alabama. It traditionally
features well-known speakers and enter
tainers along with workshops on current
topics of interest, book and craft booths,
banquets, regional caucuses, and social
events. The variety of events is meant to
appeal both to activists and to those not
involved with a group.
At the 1984 Conference in Birmingham,
Alabama, speakers included Abby Rubenfeld
of Lambda Legal Defense and Education
Fund, Mike Rutherford of the Gay Press
Association, Virginia Apuzzo, and Birming
ham's Mayor Richard Arrington.
Arrington welcomed conferees to the
city and credited~lesbian and gay acti
vists for helping bring positive change to
the city. The mayor's administrative aide
later presented the key to the city to
musician Meg Christian at the major con
cert of the Conference.
Planning for the 1985 Conference began
in April when CGA voted to bid to host the
10th anniversary. A survey of about 20
area lesbian/gay organizations was done to
find the level of community support, and
approximately 80% responded that they
would actively participate in the
planning.
Since then a Steering Committee, com
posed of representatives from across the
state from lesbian/gay organizations and
businesses, non-gay supporters, religious
leaders, and legal and other professionals
has been meeting to lay plans.
The next meeting of the Steering
Committee will be Saturday, Dec. 1, at
10 am in the UNC-CH Carolina Union.
Volunteers are welcome.

Committee meetings and want to contribute
