Ice Storm in Houston Delays Creating Change Participants

An ice storm spanning from Pittsburgh to Houston has delayed those in the Northeast planning to attend the annual Creating Change conference. Hundreds of flights were cancelled for Tuesday, an ideal flying day for conference participants.

Creating Change is scheduled to begin on Wednesday and will go through the weekend. Many participants who have not already flown to Houston will be forced to miss workshop sessions for Wednesday. This change in scheduling is an inconvenience for participants, but for those coming from the Northeast, they'll know exactly how to handle the ice and snow that has overwhelmed Houston. 

For those who are not used to the inclement weather that has descended upon Texas, it is advised to look to your friends from colder parts of the country for some tips on how to stay warm. 

Creating Change is an annual conference on organizing and building skills for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender community and their allies. The conference is organized by the Gay & Lesbian Task Force and draws in roughly 3,500 people every year from across the United States.
