Vaughan will lead effort to create LGBT Center
“Nancy has been a tremendous leader in Greensboro and we believe she will be a tremendous asset as we all work together to create a new LGBT Center in Greensboro,” said GGF Board Co-Chair Jeff Smith.
Over the next several months Guilford Green Foundation, under Vaughan’s leadership, will engage the community seeking ideas and input for the development of Greensboro’s first LGBT Center.

Guilford Green Foundation has been working since 1995 to courageously unite community by fostering organizations that advance LGBT persons and issues. Guilford Green Foundation works to promote diversity and inclusiveness throughout the LGBT community and the greater Guilford County community by raising and distributing funds for LGBT organizations and programs and growing an endowment to sustain funding for these purposes."

The creation of an LGBT center in Greensboro could be a great opportunity for more community dialogue, Cession said - but the hiring of a straight, white, non-transgender person to helm that effort gets the endeavor off on a bad foot."...
