Aranu'tiq Founder Nick Teich at White House twice this Fall
In September, Nick was invited to an LGBT leaders day at the White
House followed by a dinner at Vice President Biden's home in Washington.
There, Biden spoke about the importance of moving LGBT rights forward.
Nick returned to a policy roundtable in November where he and other
transgender policy leaders met with senior White House officials to
discuss the president's next steps in his new term regarding transgender
rights.
Nick was proud to represent Camp Aranu'tiq. He joined the Trevor
Project and GLSEN in speaking about transgender youth and the need for
tighter federal legislation to prevent bullying in schools. He was
excited to personally tell VP Biden, our "second lady" Dr. Jill Biden,
and John Berry, director of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management,
about Camp Aranu'tiq. They were all thrilled to hear that such a program
exists.
