2009 Poverty Matters!
This
conference (formerly our "Women & Poverty
Conference") will bring together human service
professionals, community leaders, and state
officials, low-income advocates, educators, and
low-income people to talk about the causes and
solutions to poverty. 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.
This
year we are excited to have the following speakers
present at the conference:
Reggie Bicha Secretary
WI Department of
Children and Families
Timothy Smeeding, Director
Institute for Research on Poverty
Representative Gordon Hintz
54th District of Wisconsin
