AACF to hold Post-Legislative Conference in Jonesboro on June 28
Are you wondering what exactly happened during the last General Assembly?
Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families will host a Post-Legislative Conference on Friday, June 28th.
Experts who understand the health, education, tax, child welfare, juvenile justice, and economic policies that were enacted during the session will explain what the new laws intend to do and how it might affect you and the people you care most about.
We’ll also have a panel of legislators including Rep. Joe Jett (D-Success), Rep. Wes Wagner (D-Manila), Rep. Homer Lenderman (D-Brookland) and Sen. Robert Thompson (D-Paragould). We are expecting other legislators to join us as well.
The conference is free, so please register now and join us!
