48th National Child Welfare Law Conference
Catalysts for Change: Innovating Advocacy through Power Sharing and Transformational Leadership
NACC Online Conference
NACC’s annual conference brings professionals from child welfare law and intersecting fields together online to further NACC’s mission and exchange ideas, information, and collective efforts.
The theme of this year’s conference is Catalysts for Change: Innovating Advocacy through Power Sharing and Transformational Leadership.
The theme underscores the need to rethink traditional advocacy models, actively share power, and harness the creativity and resourcefulness of all involved in child welfare systems to drive lasting, meaningful practice and policy reform.
We hope you’ll join us to connect with peers, learn, and consider new ways to advocate for justice for children and families.
November 12-14
