Task Force Names
Acting Director

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has named Rea Carey as its acting executive director while the organization continues the search for a full-time director, TheWashington Blade reported Tuesday.

Carey, who is deputy executive director, will temporarily succeed Matt Foreman, who will step down this month. Carey, who is not being considered for the permanent position, said the organization is strong and that she will keep the direction consistent with Foreman's guidance.

"We are in such a strong place because of Matt's leadership over the last five years," she said to the Blade. "So I'm enjoying being able to serve in this role, but also knowing that whoever steps into this role is going to have a great organization to lead."

Foreman is moving to the Gay and Lesbian Program at the Evelyn and Walter Haas Jr. Fund. (The Advocate)
