About Poverty Matters

This conference, formerly know as the "Women and Poverty Conference", brings together human service professionals, community leaders, state officials, low-income advocates, educators, and low-income people to talk about the causes and solutions to poverty. This conference has been held in Wisconsin for over 20 years!

This unique networking environment supports the sharing of ideas, identification of new and continuing successful strategies, greater integration of service provision, and a better understanding of how low-income people and community based organizations can work together to promote economic opportunity.

We hope you can join us!
