Local Transgender Community Recognizes Its Groundbreaking Leaders

Local Transgender Community Recognizes Its Groundbreaking Leaders

The Bay Area transgender community will honor its leaders at the Second Bi-Annual Transgender Pride Awards, on Monday June 20 from 5-7 PM at the LGBT Center in San Francisco. One transgender individual, one ally, and one organization will be recognized for their long-term leadership and contributions to the San Francisco Bay Area transgender communities. The event is presented by SF TEAM, a program of the LGBT Center and is free and open to all transgender community members and our allies. It will feature entertainment and food.
 

This year's honorees are:

Transgender Individual: Tamara Ching

Organization: Tom Waddell Health Clinic

Trans Ally: Dr. Lori Kohler

The awardees were selected from among nominations made by members of the local transgender communities.

This event is made possible through donations and support from the San Francisco LGBT Center, SF Pride, the National Center for Transgender Equality and the transgender communities of the Bay Area. The organizer of the event, San Francisco Transgender Empowerment, Advocacy and Mentorship (SF TEAM), is an ad hoc group of transgender community members and our allies, committed to coordinating quarterly events for the benefit of the local area.
