ABOUT US
Since our inception in 2014, the Contemporary Relationships Conference (CRC) has been bringing cutting edge science and practical experience to explore dating,
relationships, and parenting within the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to the annual conference, we launched a second leg of programming in 2021, the Queer and Trans Affirming Professional (QTAP) certification, that has since produced dozens of QTAP certified professionals dedicated to serving our population and the specific needs therein, raising the bar of cultural competency for our community.
During this time of growth, we found the need to expand our leadership to accommodate the new demands of this growing organization. In 2024 we established The Center for Contemporary Relationships, with a formal board, composed of three committees, which will govern both CRC and QTAP as well as any new programs that may be developed in the future. This governing body is actively seeking committee members who are passionate about the mission of The Center and have interest and energy in helping guide the organization into its next iteration. We thank you for your support and are excited for the future of The Center for Contemporary Relationships.
