2021 Virtual Poster Program
Call for Abstracts
If you have a story to tell about your community's efforts promoting social change or lessons learned emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic -- research projects, community narratives, and community advocacy work -- we invite you to share your work in a virtual poster session at the 2021 Virtual National Community Leadership Summit.
Abstracts will be accepted on a rolling basis until October 1, 2021 at 11:59pm ET.
Posters will be presented during the Summit on October 18 and 22, 2021.
Submitted abstracts will be accepted on a rolling basis until October 1, 2021.
If accepted, you will be notified by email.
Posters will be displayed on the conference platform and visible to Summit attendees from October 18th - 22nd, 2021 and for 30 days following the summit.
All presenters must register to attend the summit.
The summit registration form may be accessed here.
We are looking for posters reporting (1) data stories; (2) research and evaluation; (3) family, youth, and community leadership for social change - advancing racial justice; and (4) lessons learned from community leadership responding to and emerging from COVID-19.
Data storytelling includes research projects, community narratives, or community advocacy work which uses data to tell a story. While community leadership stories for social change and lessons learned responding to and emerging from COVID-19 do not have specific guidelines, we encourage presenters to use visual aids such as pictures, video, or graphs.
