The active presence and engagement this year was truly inspirational. The passion and commitment that our attendees displayed for our shared mission is a powerful energizer.<\/p>\n<p>Our incredible speakers delivered nearly 50 keynotes and workshops centered on the themes of our 2030 Strategic Framework. Our collective focus on these priorities expanded our knowledge, ignited our passion, and reinforced our dedication to the critical work we do \u2013 and participants returned to their home communities more inspired than ever to improve outcomes for children and families.
