The National Association for Public Defense will conduct its “Women’s Virtual Conference: We Are The One’s We’ve Been Waiting For” online Thursday through Saturday, Dec. 5-7.
The conference welcomes attendees to gather for advocacy, encouragement, empowerment, training workshops, development, networking, and renewal.
The event invites speakers who have been historically marginalized by age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, sexual identity, education, national origin, or any other distinguishing characteristic or trait. The goal of this event is to uplift marginalized perspectives within the public defense community.
The gathering is for all individuals, in all job titles, and practitioners who work or support public defense: attorneys, paralegals, core staff, social workers, trainers, policy advocates, and more. Law students are also encouraged and invited to join. NAPD is committed to creating an event in a safe space that brings inspiration and transformation to persons of all gender identities, and for this event, NAPD will specifically amplify female, non-binary, and/or gender non-conforming voices in public defense.
Focus areas returning this year include:
• Professional Growth & Leadership – sessions that help participants develop their leadership voice or facilitating professional/personal growth.
• Well-Being and Self-Care – sessions that prioritize wellness and self-care within the public defense community.
• Representing Women, Families, Children – sessions that center around the circumstances, challenges, and celebrations of representing women, families and children.
• Intersectionality and Connecting Our Stories – sessions amplifying when our voices are marginalized in the communities we serve.
• Women and Racial Justice – sessions centering around the pursuit of racial justice and equality.
