Transforming How We Set the Table:
Commitment to Equity, Community-Driven Collaboration, and Justice
August 17-19, 2021
9 am-2 pm each day
Each day will consist of main group sessions to advance our collective understanding of the conference theme and its role in our work for all attendees and breakout sessions that offer a deeper dive into specific topics. The breakout sessions have been organized around our five statewide interventions. Attendees will select breakout session based on their interest and what work they are doing in their local community. All sessions will be recorded.
Please Note: The virtual platform for the forum will go live a week before we meet. All people who are registered will get a notification that they can go to the platform and select the breakout sessions they want to attend.
