Advocating for Children Together Conference

Saturday, September 19 | oakland, CA

Welcome

We’re excited to announce the return of our Advocating for Children Together (ACT) Conference – a collaborative effort between pediatricians across California, organized by the American Academy of Pediatrics California Chapter 1 (AAP–CA1)​

​

The Advocating for Children Together Conference (ACT) is a one-day CME-eligible conference designed to build a community of pediatric providers who are engaged and equipped to influence child health through advocacy. The morning will consist of short TED-style lectures on timely advocacy topics followed by a panel discussion with leaders from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the California Medical Association. The afternoon will include hands-on workshops for attendees and a micro-mentoring session.

​

Join us in learning from advocacy extraordinaires as we come together to better serve the children and families from the Bay to the borders and beyond!
