Transition...
After celebrating the organization's 20th anniversary in fall of 2009, the men comprising its governing body at the time -- The Council of Gay Spirit Visions -- began a discussion about sustainability. They asked, How can GSV endure for another twenty years?
A goal was identified: transform GSV. After naming our fears, some major brainstorming and listening to Spirit, the Council and interested brothers reached consensus to gradually release the operations, planning and leadership of GSV from Atlanta control.
An action plan emerged and by early 2010 a regionally diverse task force of GSV brothers was formed to promote a paradigm shift away from the Atlanta-centric model established by our founders in 1990. However, one thing remains the same: Gay Spirit Visions is an all-volunteer organization committed to creating safe, sacred space for men who love men.
