World Outgames 2009 welcomes the global LGBT community to Copenhagen
Many of our closest partners from all over the world will be visiting us in Copenhagen for network meetings during the first weekend of May. These include distinguished representatives from the following organizations
• Gay and Lesbian International Sports Association (GLISA)
• European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation (EGLSF)
• International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)
• International Lesbian and Gay Association, Europe (ILGA Europe)
• International Gay and Lesbian Aquatics (IGLA)
• HIVOS
• Pan Idraet
• Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (CGLcc)
• Danish National Association of Gays and Lesbians (LBL)
In addition to getting personally acquainted with each other and the secretariat , the objective of the meetings is to strengthen support for World Outgames 2009 and to facilitate cooperation among LGBT organizations worldwide.
Among the many activities we have planned for our guests is a tour of the venues at which most of the sports, culture and conference events will take place during World Outgames 2009.
In addition to visiting the sites, there will also be plenty of time and space for discussion and dialog concerning problems and challenges facing the global LGBT community.
All of us at the secretariat, together with many volunteers, are looking forward to welcoming our international visitors to Copenhagen. But so is our Mayor of Culture, Pia Allerslev, who will be hosting a welcome reception on Friday, 2 May at Copenhagen’s City Hall.
The timing for this three-day status seminar could not be better; spring has arrived in Copenhagen, our new website has been successfully launched, online registration has started and our volunteer organization is taking shape. We have much good news to share with our partners.

My name is Lisa Parker and I am a doctoral business student seeking to complete my dissertation research study.
I am hoping that you would be willing to assist me in collecting data for my doctoral dissertation research on the Effect of Human Resource Policies on Gay Consumer Preference by Market Segment. This being so, I would really appreciate it if you could take my survey.
The survey will only take about 5 minutes to complete.
You may access the survey by clicking on or pasting the link below into your web browser:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=BXOTuUo_2fU7u4FG_2fWh959qA_3d_3d

By completing and turning in this survey you are giving your consent for the researcher to include your responses in the data analysis. Your participation in this research is strictly voluntary, and you may choose not to participate without fear of penalty or any negative consequences. Individual responses will be treated confidentially. No individually identifiable information will be disclosed or published, and all results will be presented as aggregate, summary data.
