Advance Registration is now closed for the Client Impact Leadership Conference. Please register onsite.
Community First: Client Leaders for Justice. The most innovative client training of 2010 is being offered by NLADA this summer in Chicago, Illinois.
Low-income communities around the nation are stretched and challenged during this worst recession since the Depression. Our communities also have significant strengths and assets waiting to be called into full service and partnership in the fight for justice. Social and economic justice cannot be successfully achieved without the full partnership of low-income leaders. Community First: Clients as Leaders for Justice recognizes the value and central importance of strong client leaders and advocates.
Who Should Attend? Community First: Clients as Leaders for Justice is designed for clients, client board members and community leaders in the low-income communities who are committed to partnering with community organizations, legal aid and public defender programs to advocate for equal justice. Programs are encouraged to send teams of participants that include emerging leaders and seasoned board leaders. The program is designed to help programs increase and sustain the number and effectiveness of their client leaders and client board members.
Client Leaders are low-income and no-income leaders and lay advocates who seek to co-produce justice with other clients, lawyers, paralegals, and other advocates fighting for racial and economic justice for individuals, families and communities
Programs are encouraged to send participants to Client Impact Leadership & Emerging Leadership. This combination of interactive trainings will best equip your clients for holistic and effective participation on your boards of directors and in the community served by your program
