The Power of Allyship @ NASA
Join us on June 17, 2021 at 2 p.m. EDT for a conversation in honor of National LGBTQ+ Pride Month about what it means to be an ally, understanding some of the barriers faced by the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community, and what you as an active ally can do to help break down those barriers. The panel discussion will be moderated by Charles Cockrell, associate director for strategy at NASA’s Glenn Research Center, and will feature:
• Melanie Saunders, NASA deputy associate administrator
• Sarah J. Phillips, visual information specialist for the Image Technology Center at NASA’s Glenn Research Center

• Donna Shafer, associate center director at NASA’s Johnson Space Center
The event is sponsored by the LGBTQ+ Employee Alliance Group at NASA’s Langley Research Center, the LGBT Advisory Council at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Out & Allied at NASA’s Johnson Space Center; the LGBT Employee and Allies Network at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, the LGBT Advisory Group at NASA’s Ames Research Center, the NASA HQ Pride Alliance; The Rainbow Alliance at NASA’s Glenn Research Center, Stennis Space Center, and the NASA Shared Services Center.
