Class of 2011
Michael Toumayan joined the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, D.C. in 2012, the largest civil rights organization working to achieve equality for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Americans. As the manager of HRC’s Religion and Faith Program, Michael has spearheaded much of the work with conflicted minority religious communities in the United States, adding a whole new level of experience to HRC’s Religion and Faith advocacy work.
