what is the conference?
The Semi-Annual Membership Conference is a central gathering of our members and partner organizations from all across the city of Detroit. We share the tremendous work that 482 members have done over the previous six months, plan our next steps as an organization together, and learn about a critical topic in education. It is a great opportunity for existing members to share in the decision-making of the organization and for those who are thinking about joining the movement to get their feet wet. Schedule
