New Employee Organization Joins the Mix
NYCHA’s diverse group of employee affiliation organizations will soon have a new member, with the inaugural membership meeting of LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning) Employee Organization.
“I realized after the Black History Month celebration and the Women’s History Month celebration that there was another part of me that was not being recognized said D’Andra Van Heusen. Moreover, speaking with other employees in the diverse LGBTQ community, Ms. Van Heusen learned that many felt the same way.
“We all share the same trials and tribulations. I realized that we needed a place to sit down in camaraderie. No one was starting an organization for us—so I jumped in.”
The first meeting will take place on June 18 at 90 Church Street in the 5th floor Employment Room at 6 p.m.
The privacy of participants will be respected and everyone is welcome.
