ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The conference theme, Guiding Lights, Brighter Futures, reminds us that everyday matters for every child. Brighter futures are possible when we come together through shared leadership, strong connections, and collective action. This annual gathering is a place to recharge, connect, and recommit to ensuring every child has a safe home, strong schools, and the opportunity to thrive.
