Welcome to the website of Out to Innovate™, formerly known as National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals (NOGLSTP). We are still the same organization, but are rebranding to have an all inclusive name so that all LGBTQ+ people in STEM will know that they are welcome and included in our advocacy and programming. During this rebranding process, you will start to notice changes to our name, logo, website layout and content, membership management system, and much much more! We are so excited to begin this transformation!
