"I
found participating on the Samara Scholarship Committee to be one
of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. Not only did I
get to read about the amazing things that youth are doing in their
schools and lives to make a difference concerning lgbtq issues,
but I also got to work with some of the most dynamic and interesting
people I've ever had the honor of meeting."
Roland Palmer
Former Chair
