All are welcome to attend as we come together to celebrate this year’s successes. These successes include robust legislative efforts, the historic upholding of the Indian Child Welfare Act by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case known as Haaland v. Brackeen, having trained over 500 child welfare professionals, and so many more community-driven efforts to effect statewide systems change.
