Roberts Named to AEGIS Advisory Board
JoAnn Roberts, one of the founders of Renaissance, the first managing director, and now a director at-large of the national organization, has been named to the Interdisciplinary Advisory Board of AEGIS, the American Educational Gender Information Service, Inc., based in Decatur, Ga.
Roberts, who holds a Ph.D. degree, joins 27 other members “prominent in their fields, and who are dedicated to the study and welfare of transgendered persons,” according to AEGIS Executive Director Dallas Denny.
Other members include Dr. Anne Bolin, Drs. Bonnie and Vern Bullough, Caroline Cossey (Tula), Sister Mary Elizabeth, Ariadne Kane, Dr. Sheila Kirk, Dr. Virginia Prince, and Kim Elizabeth Stuart.
In addition to Renaissance, other organizations represented on the panel include the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, The American Psychiatric Association, The Society for the Scientific Study of Sex, The American Association for Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, the International Foundation for Gender Education, the Ingersoll Center, and the Society for the Second Self.
A number of the members are transgendered.
But despite this “establishment” tone, the advisory panel also includes special advisors representing some areas that may be considered unconventional, such as Delores French, who provides input on prostitution.
“We are fortunate to have been able to assemble such a fine and distinguished group of advisors,” Denny said
