We arrived in Washington, DC yesterday, got a good night’s sleep, then got up today for our pre-conference leadership seminar presented by the GLBT Learning Institute of UCLA.

Very disappointing. We did not learn anything from this session that we haven’t learned from any number of company management training sessions.

I really don’t want to say much more - it’s feedback more appropriate to give directly to our corporate diversity team, but again, very disappointing.

After the session, Rachelle and I joined the rest of the folks from the company at Buca di Beppo (which stands for Buca’s basement I think) for dinner. Unfortunately, the only way they could accommodate 21 people was to put us at four tables next to each other. It wasn’t very social.

Anyway, we sat with a couple folks and chatted for a few hours through dinner - unfortunately had to sent my plate back at one point because they didn’t tell us that the cannelloni had meat in it. Me and my special needs :-).

Tomorrow starts the main conference. We’re going to spend a few hours tonight going through the conference book to determine which workshops we plan to attend and then it’s to bed. We’ll be up bright and early for the breakfast and 8am plenary session.
