InterPride is the International Association of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Coordinators. The purpose of InterPride is to build and develop Pride organizations around the world. In addition to organizations that produce annual Pride events, we are also inviting other groups within the lesbian and gay community that focus on one or more annual events. On Sunday afternoon, there will be a media workshop for all GLBT organizations. The workshop will cover topics including working with broadcast and print media, how to make sure that your message is clearly expressed, and how to get that message to your target audience. www.razzledazzledallas.org/IP3RegInfo.htm
