The Caucus on LGBTQ Concerns is the advocacy and political action arm for LGBTQ identified individuals in the National Communication Association. The caucus works to ensure that the policies and actions of the larger association are equitable and considerate of LGBTQ members. Specific duties of the caucus include annually bestowing the Randy Majors and Lambda Awards, sponsoring an annual forum or panel on a political or advocacy issue at the NCA convention, providing mentoring to faculty and students in the discipline, and building/maintaining relations with other minority caucuses within NCA.
