ABOUT GLSEN
Who We Are
Championing LGBTQ issues in K-12 education since 1990
GLSEN works to ensure that LGBTQ students are able to learn and grow in a school
environment free from bullying and harassment. Together we can transform our
nation's schools into the safe and affirming environment all youth deserve.
OUR WORK
GLSEN believes that every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and
LGBTQ-inclusive K-12 education. We are a national network of educators,
students, and local GLSEN Chapters working to make this right a reality.
Our research and experience has shown that there are four major ways that
schools can cultivate a safe and supportive environment for all of their
students, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.

Paul Irwin-Dudek
DEPUTY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT
PRONOUNS: HE/HIM/THEY
Paul Irwin-Dudek has over two decades of experience in creating and executing
comprehensive fundraising plans; building new revenue streams; delivering
seven-figure gifts; engaging and growing corporate partners; producing live &
virtual events; and collaborating with diverse philanthropic stakeholders and
constituencies.
Known as a visionary and collaborative leader, they have been recognized for
aligning resources to a shared vision, defining strategic imperatives, and
driving results across organizational boundaries. Paul is also skilled in
navigating disruption and guiding entrepreneurial and data-driven teams that get
results.
An advocate for diversity and inclusion, Irwin-Dudek has dedicated their career
to making the world a better place by supporting organizations such as the
Autism Speaks, National Kidney Foundation, Genesys Works, Youth INC, American
Cancer Society, and United Way. Strategically designing unique mission-driven
opportunities that advance meaningful engagement, Paul has raised over $360
million dollars to support the valuable missions he has served. Their most
accomplished moment is when he transformed Autism Speaks single-day awareness
event, Light It Up Blue, into a month-long revenue-driving campaign executed in
over 100 countries, on all seven continents and the International Space Station,
raising an additional $10M to support research and awareness of autism spectrum
disorders.
Paul lives in New Jersey with his husband Christopher and their daughter
Kensington. When not fundraising and building meaningful partnerships to support
our mission, Paul can be seen waiting in line at the Theatre Development Fund’s
TKTS Booth for tickets to a Broadway show, reading Steve Berry’s latest
historical fiction or baking Gluten-Free desserts.

of all students, specifically as they are related to issues regarding sexual
orientation and gender identity/expression, the school experiences of LGBT
parents, perceptions of educators and school administrators regarding school
climate, and the utility of school- and community-based efforts regarding
bullying and harassment and efforts to create safe and affirming learning
environments. GLSEN’s research is widely used for education policy advocacy as
well as commonly cited in public media regarding LGBT student issues and school
safety.
Kosciw’s work has been published in diverse scholarly and practitioner journals,

Michael Rady
RAINBOW LIBRARY PROGRAM MANAGER
PRONOUNS: HE/HIM/HIS
Michael Rady (he/him) is a queer educator, organizer, and reader. Michael
believes radical transformation is needed in American education to deliver
equity for all learners, especially BIPOC students and LGBTQ+ students. Before
joining GLSEN, Michael was a third-grade teacher, curriculum writer, and Senate
education policy staffer. Michael’s involvement in LGBTQ+ inclusive education
started when he was asked to lead the LGBTQ+ staff community group for a network
of public schools in the Northeast. Interest in the group grew immensely: it
increased to over 500 members, marched in pride parades, and transformed
internal policies for LGBTQ+ staff and students. In 2018, Michael joined GLSEN’s
Connecticut chapter to launch the Rainbow Library, a program that sends
queer-affirming books to schools. Since then, the program has grown to thousands
of locations in dozens of states. He sees the Rainbow Library not only as way to
help youth access queer-affirming literature, but as a bridge to other LGBTQ+
supports and policy changes. Originally from New York, Michael currently splits
his time between Nashville, Tennessee, where his partner and their dog, Reese,
reside, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Michael is pursuing a Master of
Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
