Michigan Community Action
2020 Virtual Summer Conference
July 31 – August 14
s
Participation is welcomed from other states!
The conference agenda includes 18 high quality trainings that will excite, inspire and inform community anti-poverty advocates, community action program staff, new and senior management, agency volunteers, and anti-poverty agency board members.
In addition to the scheduled sessions and events that make up the conference, there are opportunities for learning from peers and colleagues who share similar interests and responsibilities at their agencies. We are excited to roll out Peer Groups at this conference, where colleagues who work within the same fields can share ideas, triumphs, and challenges to spark conversation and learn new ideas from each other.
Recordings of all of the live sessions, presentation slide decks and handouts will be accessible to conference attendees electronically.
