Equality Illinois
has appointed Amy Bloom as its new executive director.
Her duties will include direct fund-raising, operational
oversight, and working with the organization's board
of directors and volunteers in coordinating an annual
fund-raising gala.
Bloom was
previously a senior manager of special events at the Howard
Brown Health Center, a top LGBT health care institution in
the region.
“We are
extremely excited to have someone with Amy’s
experience and dedication to LGBT causes join our
staff,” Arthur Johnston, president of the
organization’s board of directors, said in a
statement. “This is a crucial time in the
history of LGBT rights in our state. We are confident
that Amy will help Equality Illinois expand our base of
support as we lead the fight for civil unions and
equal relationship rights for same-sex
couples.”
Equality Illinois
was founded in 1992 and worked to enact a 2005
statewide ban on discrimination in housing, employment, and
public accommodations based on sexual orientation or
gender identity. (The Advocate)
