Executive Director of SAFE-NH accepts nomination to the Board of Director's of NH TREE

Lee Newman, Executive Director of SAFE-NH and his wife were recently invited to attend the quarterly Board of Director's meeting and dinner of New Hampshire Transgender Resources for Education and Empowerment. NH TREE is a non-profit Transgendered Rights organization which among other initiatives holds a Spring Summit (conference)on the campus of the University of New Hampshire in collaboration with the UNH Alliance for GLBTQ students. Mr. Newman had met with Sarah Thompson the Executive Director of NH TREE several months ago to discuss future possible collaborations between the two organizations due to the fact that SAFE-NH provides services and support to Transgendered clients who have experienced intimate partner violence/domestic violence. Many Transgendered individuals "identify" as gay and lesbian as well as heterosexual so the fact that SAFE-NH counts ALL victims and survivors among their clients is conducive to some collaborative efforts between these organizations.

During the quarterly meeting ,Mr. Newman was asked to join as a Director, after nomination and voting was completed, Mr. Newman accepted a seat on the Board.
