National Community Leadership Summit
October 18-19, 2022
Join us for the 9th Annual National Community Leadership Summit, themed Crafting Our Legacy: Collaborative Action for Love, Liberation and Joy, hosted by Boston Medical Center’s Vital Village Networks! This summit brings together trail blazers from around the country who are dedicated to helping children and families get equitable access to the resources they need to thrive. This has become especially important given the inequities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On October 17th we will host a half-day pre-conference, the Data Equity Symposium, for those seeking to build equity and strengths-focused, and socially and culturally diverse research, data-sharing, and evaluation capacity and expand collaborative partnerships in this realm.
