The National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA, nlgja.org) will hold its 2008 National Convention & 5th Annual LGBT Media Summit on August 21-24 at the Hilton Washington in Washington, DC. Dubbed NLGJA Goes to Washington, the conference will feature nearly 50 skills-building sessions and hot-topic panel discussions just months before Election 2008. This is an excellent opportunity to get re-energized about your work and to make some new professional contacts, which is why I'm definitely attending. Both NLGJA members and non-members receive special discounted rates for registering before July 11. Visit www.nlgja.org/convention/2008 for more information and to register online.
