The Wait is Almost Over For Our 2nd Annual Conference!

This year's conference will highlight community-engaged research by community leaders and academicians in the areas of economic/social mobility, early care, and early education. We will explore the role and empowerment of community-engaged research, tactical successes, and programs that affirm, strengthen, and create positive outcomes for African American communities. While this is a hybrid conference, we truly encourage in-person attendance so that you can participate in the discussions and for ongoing conversation at networking opportunities.  

Registration is FREE!
