Participate in the Children’s Summit.
Children’s hosts an annual summit meeting to bring community members together to strengthen advocacy efforts. Previous meetings have focused on clinical partnerships, how to advocate for children, and what our children and families need from advocacy. In November 2006, the Children's Summit will be held regionally in Alameda, San Joaquin and Stanislaus Counties.
