The Office of LGBT Affairs and the Mayor’s Commission on LGBT Affairs next month will host their second Community Conversation.
During the conversation, current and former Mazzoni Center staff and clients will speak on their experiences at the LGBT health and wellness organization. The Office of LGBT Affairs will coordinate remarks before the event and requests must be emailed to [email protected] by 5 p.m. Aug. 3.
Mazzoni went through several leadership shakeups in April. Former CEO Shein was under scrutiny for her alleged handling of former Medical Director Dr. Robert Winn’s alleged sexual impropriety with patients. After Winn’s resignation, more than 60 Mazzoni staff members participated in a walkout requesting Shein’s resignation. The organization announced her departure days later.
“We invite all community members together as we hold space for those involved and work to reach a place of collective understanding and healing while forging a path forward together,” the event’s description states.
The Community Conversation will be held 6-9 p.m. Aug. 10 at Broad Street Ministry, 315 S. Broad St.
