  • LGBT
  • Family/DV

December 14 and 15, 2020!

This year the LGBTQ Domestic Violence Roundtable will be gathering virtually over the course of two afternoons.  We will miss seeing everyone in person in Albany this year, but through the Zoom platform we hope we can engage even more participants this year!

Participants may register for one or both days, but both days is encouraged.  CLE will be provided for appropriate sessions and you must attend the full afternoon program to receive credit. In keeping with the meeting format, we will have both learning and discussion sessions and ask people to plan to actively participate, turn on your camera, ask lots of questions, and be fully engaged.
