CLASS: Leadership Symposium
Thomas Smith, Chair of the Leather Leadership Conference, would like to invite you to a different type of class -- a Question and Answer series where the presenters ask the questions and the attendees provide the answers. During this discussion, Thomas will act as impartial moderator, proposing difficult and challenging questions that are pertinent to the kink and leather communities. He will then call on volunteers from the audience to provide answers on these topics, cultivating several different responses and viewpoints in the process. The goal of this class is to create a think tank atmosphere of community leaders and open dialogue on controversial and thought provoking topics.
