Dallas' Matt Goodman named to

Board of Directors for BiNet USA

Matt Goodman, president of DFW BiNet, has

been appointed to the Board of Directors for

BiNet USA.

"This is a unique opportunity to build a

stronger, healthier bisexual movement. Let's

hope that this inspires others to a call to action,"

said Goodman, who spearheaded a rejuvenation

of the fledging DFW BiNet chapter last

year.

BiNet USA, the oldest national bisexual entity

in the U.S., is a network of groups, projects

and individuals, encouraging dialogue and

participation as a way of creating and maintaining

a cohesive bisexual community and

empowering individuals to feel proud of their

bisexuality, according to the group's Web site.

Goodman will be the organization's representative

to the National Gay and Lesbian Task

Force's Creating Change Conference to be held

in Dallas next spring. He will be planning the

bisexual leadership and training day.

In addition, he expects to be active in the

rebranding of the organization, he said, "to be

more of a nationwide powerhouse."
