Robin Hayes

Robin's first Esprit conference (her first time out of the house, ever!) was in 2005. She found the people to be so accepting, so
helpful (with their varied life experience) and so diverse (all over the gender spectrum), that she really wanted to be part of the "Esprit phenomenon" and has been volunteering in different ways since 2006.

She lives in Portland with a most wonderful (not CD-supportive, but working on accepting) wife, and three very supportive kitties.

Robin has served several years as a representative to the Esprit committee from the Northwest Gender Alliance (NWGA). Lately, Robin co-ordinates the Wednesday night theater event, loves being a "big sister", and helps out with various and sundry "ad hoc" tasks as needed.

Chick Chat

Who doesn't love a gabfest? This year, we're trying a new format... Rather than having just one speaker, EVERYONE is a speaker! Robin, your hostess, will have a number of discussion-starters from fun/funny to serious, and we'll see where the conversation takes us. Grab a cup of coffee, kick off your shoes (especially if you've had a day in heels! :) and come share your thoughts and learn from others' experiences and viewpoints.

(We intend this class to be a meaningful and entertaining way to interact in a friendly group of gals. While we hope you'll build friendships and learn some things, it is *not* intended to be therapy, and any advice, input, or opinion will be from individuals, not on behalf of Esprit.)
