Press Release Body = SARASOTA, FL - AUGUST 21, 2007 - Former city manager and public
speaker, Susan A. Stanton, is presenting to professionals from a variety of fields,
including corporate environments, nonprofit organizations, municipal and government
employees and education, who are joining together to explore the best ways to bring
equality into our workplaces and our lives, on September 29, 2007.

The Out and Equal Workplace Summit is widely recognized as the world's premier
conference on LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) workplace equality,
providing a unique opportunity to build alliances, share ideas and take actions that
foster safe and equitable work environments for everyone. The 2007 Summit is
expected to attract over 2,000 participants in Washington, D.C. for three days of
informative workshops taught by leading experts; unique and enjoyable networking
functions; and inspirational, unforgettable speakers. For more information on the
upcoming Summit, visit www.outandequal.org.
Stanton will be presenting at "Workplace Transition in (and Out of) the Spotlight".
She will be discussing her experience and her life as a transgender public official.
This is a panel discussion with transpeople who have transitioned in and out of the
public eye. Panelists will discuss circumstances around their workplace gender
transition, including handling the media and workplace attention, managing their
private emotions, fielding public antipathy and support, and maintaining workplace
equilibrium. Panelists will offer advice to keep in mind if someone is transitioning
in your workplace.
As the former Largo, Florida city manager who was fired when news broke of her plans
to transition from a man to a woman, Stanton is currently entertaining and educating
audiences nationwide through keynote speeches and presentations on diversity,
authenticity and change acceptance. Stanton is also working with CNN on a year-long
documentary of her life in transition and is finalizing a book based on her
experience as a transgender public administrator.
