Building shared understanding

Participation and visibility
Her inclusion work included coordinating and supporting Midsumma Pride March, Midsumma Carnival and Westside programming, IDAHOBIT, Intersex Awareness Day and Transgender Day of Remembrance, alongside Pride meetups and community-centre activities.
Sustaining the work
Alisha established internal LGBTIQA+ and gender equity groups, with terms of reference, membership, agendas and follow-up on agreed actions. This linked staff participation with ongoing organisational responsibility.
