Our future is collectively built. Let's bring the best of what we have.

Research and practice, together​.

How are we going to spend one and a half days together? By learning, listening, and offering what we can in the service of the whole. Come prepared to learn from all that are present, to ask difficult questions, to offer your courageous observations, and to grow your leadership in your work - whether you come as a human services professional or leader, a researcher, a community partner, or a student.
