Education: we continue to educate elected officials, business leaders, and floridians in general about the economic and personal cost of anti-lgbt discrimination in our state. In 2019, we expanded our safe & healthy schools project into 64 of florida's 67 school districts, and in four years have provided training to over 22,000 school principals, district leaders and other school personnel. We hosted the annual all together now conference, bringing together over 225 high-level school administrators from 39 districts. (Continued on schedule o)we expanded our transgender inclusion initiative from a 35-member transaction advisory council to a 140-member transaction florida network. This team worked with major media outlets and law enforcement agencies in the handling and reporting of crimes against transgender floridians, held 12 public informational town hall-type sessions, and facilitated 54 corporate transgender inclusion education workshops.
Outreach: we expanded our "equality means business" coalition to 123 major corporations and professional sports franchises, and our bilingual "open doors/puertas abiertas" small business directory to over 1,900 members that have adopted comprehensive nondiscrimination policies. Our goal is to improve florida's national and international reputation as a welcoming and inclusive place to live, work and visit, by promoting diversity in the workplace as essential to building the skills, perspective and other assets necessary to establish a competitive workforce in florida.(Continued on schedule o)our field team staffed 40 lgbtq pride events around the state, adding 29,332 new members and supporters, registering 850 voters, and recruiting 520 volunteers.
Mobilization: in partnership with other progressive organizations, we led "boot camp" trainings in 11 major markets throughout florida to develop over 300 rapid response corps activists and empower them to organize floridians into action through rallies, press conferences, marches and protests.
