The state and future of our country relies on individuals who are not only educated but who are empowered to act! It is the goal of the 2020 conference to provide the knowledge, skills and resources to equip young women with the tools needed to be better advocates for themselves, others and in society.
The 2020 SAAS/S2S National Conference will be held on April 3rd - 5th. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by Thursday evening, April 2nd. The conference will conclude with a banquet on Saturday, April 4th. A detailed conference agenda will be released soon.
