| NOGLSTP (pronounced nah-goal-step), the National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientific and Technical Professionals, is a national organization of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people (and their advocates) employed or interested in scientific, engineering, and other high technology fields. Among NOGLSTP’s goals are improving employment opportunities and the professional work environment quality for LGBT scientific, engineering, and technical professionals; opposing queer phobia and stereotypes by providing role models of successful LGBT scientific, engineering, and technical professionals; fostering networking and mentoring among our members and LGBT students in scientific, engineering, and technical degree programs; and dialogue with other professional societies and associations. NOGLSTP is a non-profit educational organization under IRS section 501(c)(3), an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a participating professional society in the MentorNet® Affiliated Partners Plus program, a sustaining member of the National Postdoctoral Association, and an endorsing society of National Engineers Week. NOGLSTP priorities for the current year include participation in the 2008 E-Week Global Marathon, continued growth of the NOGLSTP-MentorNet mentoring program, increased partnerships with LGBT employee resource groups and employers, and development of scholarship programs for LGBT students in science, engineering, and technology. www.noglstp.org « Return to Diversity Council page
