Children and Family Empowerment Project Symposium at Kean University
Thank you for everyone that attended, participation and support at the Children and Family Empowerment Project symposium at Kean University. It was an amazing event on many levels of learning, exemplifying so much of what our FAN-PAC community is and can be through your membership and involvement. We truly hope you gained a refreshing new perspective on something, motivation about how we can come together to transform how family court works for us and our children.
We were grateful for the turnout from the students, 24 attendees and from the FAN-PAC community; members, friends and fellow advocates. There were more than 90 total in attendance while we had to turn people away due to capacity constraints.
We are humbled to have had a great group of panelists from the legislature, education, psychology and advocacy professions represented. The expertise and resources brought forward through these collaborations is powerful.
A special thank you to our panelists:
Assemblywoman Annette Chaparro
