Liz Coplen joined the SWOP USA Board of directors this year and was soon voted in as Board Chair, a role she will take up in August 2010 after she attends the International AIDS Conference in Vienna and the Desiree Alliance Conference in Las Vegas (July 25 to 30, 2010). Her deep knowledge of sex worker organizing in the United States and her dedication to the inclusion of sex workers from all backgrounds into our national organizing makes her an excellent candidate to take over the board chair role from Tara who has been chair for the last two years.
