The primary objectives of the conference are to:
- Convene the community in a centralized regional forum to lay the foundation for building a robust network of individuals, advocates and organizations;
- Develop a conference proceedings report for the purpose of advancing community goals and action items; and
- Identify new opportunities for future collaboration among conference participants.
Conference participants will have the opportunity to:
- Engage with community leaders and advocates across the nine Bay Area counties in a welcoming and fully accessible environment.
- Share your lived experiences and priorities with policymakers and invited elected officials.
- Develop partnerships and identify opportunities for future collaboration.
