Atlanta, February 11, 2014 – The Metro Atlanta Association of Professionals announced today a  collaborative effort with Woven, a national, web-based company whose mission is to provide legal and  financial resources to the LGBT community,

“This is a great opportunity for many of our attorneys, financial advisers, tax and insurance professionals  in the metro Atlanta region and nationwide,” said Joshua D. Lorenz, MAAP CEO and president. “I believe  strongly in Woven and believe it is a valuable resource to the LGBT community.”

Woven network members are professionals who have demonstrated competence and passion in  working with the unique legal and financial issues faced by LGBT couples and families.

“Woven is so greatly needed by same-sex couples, especially now that issues have become even more  confusing within a constantly changing political and legal landscape,” said Woven President Kristin Davis.  “Access to trusted and highly dedicated experts who have a wealth of experience and knowledge in this  ever-changing arena is essential. Our website provides easy access to the resources people need to attain a secure future.”

She pointed out the many complex legal issues same-sex couples continue to face since the Supreme Court decision on the Defense of Marriage Act.

Woven is helping market MAAP on a national level, and MAAP is spreading the word about Woven in the Atlanta area.

Woven’s national network is growing every day. Attorneys, financial advisors, CPAs and insurance professionals who work with the LGBT community and want to be part of the Woven Network can apply online at http://www.livewoven.com.
