Call for Presentation Proposals

For Voices Rising, NCADV will be focusing on presentations that provide, model, or incorporate solutions and/or successful best practices to addressing domestic violence. We will be selecting presentations that focus less on what the issues are and more on HOW the issues are being addressed in communities.

The call for workshop proposals has closed and we are currently reviewing submissions. Please contact conference@ncadv.org with questions.
