GlobalAge groups -- locally-based, grass-roots affinity groups comprised of lesbian, gay, bi-affectionate and transgender employees, along with their straight allies.

GlobalAge.org (direct link: http://home.earthlink.net/~globalage1/) is a web site facilitating the formation of GlobalAge-type groups for various businesses, as well as providing a means for safe communication and informal networking among our members.

GlobalAge is not a bureaucratic, corporately controlled organization. We practice "inclusiveness" and "boundarylessness", an informal network of local groups for sharing "best-practices" information to help serve the greater community.

GlobalAge is open to all who support our Vision and Mission statements.
