About 70 representatives of LGBT community centers from around the nation, as well as from Israel and Canada, converged on the William Way LGBT Community Center Sept. 24-26 for umbrella organization CenterLink’s Third Annual Leadership Summit. More than half of the participants were center executive directors, with some 30 board members attending the conference, which featured networking events and seminars on marketing and board development, many of which were led by Philadelphia’s LGBT leaders. “We were able to use a lot of our local talent to help showcase our community,” said ’Dolph Ward Goldenburg (front row, left), executive director of William Way. “It was really a treat to host my colleagues from all over the world.” Photo: Scott Drake
