The Stonewall Sports 9th Annual National Tournament & Summit will kick off with the Leadership Summit on Friday, July 14th.
This year’s Leadership Summit theme is “Stonewall [Supports]: Co-Creating Vibrant and Inclusive Communities.”
Beyond athletics and leisure activities, Stonewall Sports plays an important role in supporting chapters throughout the country to co-create vibrant and inclusive LGBTQIA+ spaces.
Throughout the afternoon on Friday, summit attendees will learn more about the role Stonewall Sports can play in the development of these important spaces, as well as the uplift of the regions they exist in, and engage in facilitated activities and discussions that allow participants to reflect on their chapter's and city's individual stories, needs and contexts. Upon the conclusion of the Leadership Summit, attendees will have worked together to co-create a shared vision for the future of Stonewall's presence in their respective communities.
The Leadership Summit is free for all registered tournament participants to attend.
