Announcing Speakers & Agenda for APC Detroit

Last chance to sign up for Accelerating Policy Change!

There are only a few weeks left to register for Accelerating Policy Change in Southeast Michigan! If you’re based near Detroit, don't miss this opportunity to deepen your legal and policy skills and network with peers to support thriving communities in Michigan and beyond.

In partnership with Big Cities Health Coalition, we’ve just announced our agenda and speakers for this full-day event. On Wednesday, November 12, we will gather in Detroit to share tools, practices, and examples that support people-centered policymaking. We hope you’ll be there!

Speakers

  • Danielle Atkinson, National Executive Director and Founder, Mothering Justice
  • Dessa Cosma, Executive Director, Detroit Disability Power
  • Christina Floyd, Deputy Director of Public Health, Detroit Health Department
  • Chrissie Juliano, Executive Director, Big Cities Health Coalition
  • Denise Fair Razo, Chief Public Health Officer, Detroit Health Department

Join us for a day of interactive sessions, small-group activities, and inspiring panel discussions, as well as complimentary breakfast and lunch. During the event, you’ll develop your own action steps so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned to your work; and after the event, you’ll receive a certificate of completion and a resource guide to support your efforts.

Registration will be closing on November 3 — sign up now and please share the event with your colleagues or networks! We are also offering scholarships so that a wide range of community members can participate.
