Thank you so much for your continued support as we prepare for the Inaugural NWSN Conference of 2023. This important convening of the leaders of our nation’s women’s shelters will be pivotal as we collaborate to elevate the voices of women and children experiencing homelessness. Together, we will raise awareness of the gender-specific needs of women experiencing homelessness; highlight the significance of ending gender-based discrimination, abuse, and violence (which are among the primary causes of homelessness for women); showcase trauma-informed practices for women and their children; and ultimately advance the status of women as we establish a new collective voice to end and prevent homelessness. For this inaugural conference, we have assembled an agenda exploring the most pressing and essential matters for women experiencing homelessness. On the evening of September 5th, we will be holding a welcome reception offering guests the opportunity to socialize and enjoy a light dinner. On September 6th, the speakers and panels will focus on creating gender-specific, trauma-informed environments that advance equity, social justice, and successful transitions. On September 7th, we will highlight strategies and innovations for effective fundraising, resource development, capacity building, and community engagement. We will wrap up the morning of September 8th with strategic planning and a final breakfast! *For a full list of sponsorship benefits please visit thenwsn.org or email us at conference@thenwsn.
