2011-2012 Board Of Directors

Cory Hernandez - Chair, Webmaster
In high school, Cory was immensely involved with his GSA, but wanted to be more active in the LGBTQ community, and so started volunteering with GLSEN Phoenix. After two years of serving as a trainer and volunteer, he decided to intern at GLSEN MA during his first year at MIT. Now a sophomore studying Political Science and American Studies, Cory stays heavily involved with organizations that promote equality for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression, like GLSEN.

Paul Poteat - Treasurer
Paul Poteat first became involved with GLSEN in 2008 as part of his ongoing collaboration with the GLSEN National research team through their presentations at various conferences. He is a professor at Boston College in the Department of Counseling, Developmental, and Educational Psychology. His work in schools examines homophobic bullying and other forms of bias-based harassment, as well as factors that promote resilience among LGBTQ youth. He received his PhD in Counseling Psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.

Jeff Krieger - Educator Retreat Coordinator

Alan Chandonnet - Member
Alan Chandonnet has been involved in the LGBT PRIDE Networking Groups at State Street Corporation as well as Bank of America, where he tries to bring awareness to the workplace as well as to his community. He is currently on the Leadership Team for the Bank of America group, where he is presently employed as a Document Administrator. He recently completed a two year term as a teen mentor for The Waltham House/The Home for Little Wanderers. By joining GLSEN, Alan hopes to continue bringing LGBT issues to the forefront by helping educate youth as well as educators on the effects of bullying in our community.
