Event Details
39th Annual Protecting Our Children Conference
Each year, NICWA hosts the largest
national gathering on American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) child
advocacy issues. With over 1,500 attendees—and growing every year—this
four-day conference has become the premiere national event addressing
tribal child welfare and well-being. Keynote speakers range from federal
officials at the highest level of government to youth with lived
experience in child welfare systems.
NICWA provides meaningful programming
to conference attendees, creating a space where participants can learn
about the latest developments and best practices from experts in the
field and from one another. Participants represent a cross-section of
fields and interests including child welfare, mental health, and
juvenile justice service providers; legal professionals; students;
advocates for children; and tribal, state, and federal leaders. |
