She serves on the GATE advisory board since 2010 and on the International planning committee for the Philadelphia Trans Health Conference (2011 – 2015). Theron serves as an LGBTI-Affirmative Practice Core Working group member for the Psychological Society of South Africa, and is the consultant for the development of International Trans Fund and its interim Steering Committee.
