Welcome to the National Consortium of Directors of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Resources in Higher Education. We were officially born at the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's Creating Change Conference in San Diego (November, 1997), but had already been working together on an informal basis for several years. The combined vision and mission on the Consortium is to achieve higher education environments in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni have equity in every respect. Our goals are to support colleagues and develop curriculum to professionally enhance this work; to seek climate improvement on campuses; and to advocate for policy change, program development, and establishment of LGBT Office/Centers. We are a not-for-profit organization and can accept your tax-deductible donation.

The Consortium offers information of use to those who work with college and university students. We usually meet twice a year (once at NGLTF and once at either or both ACPA or NASPA) and communicate extensively via the internet. If you work in a campus LGBT office or program, please come to our next meeting and get involved. You may be able to get involved right now via our email-list, campusdir-l. If you are a current staff member at a college or university and your primary job is to deal with LGBT resource on your campus, you may also subscribe to our directors' support list (you must first sucessfully subscribe to campusdir-l before you ask to join the support list).
	The Directors of the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education(CAS) have approved the Consortium as an associate member organization. CAS has created standards for our work. You can order the LGBT Programs Self-Assessment Guide online for $20. These are also contained in and are available for purchase from CAS in the CAS Blue Book ($45) and Self-Assessment Guides on CD ROM ($150) or the book and CD together. ($175)
