Are you advancing gender and racial equity in your community? Interested in sharing your expertise and experience as a leader in the girls' movement? Then consider becoming a presenter at Alliance for Girls' 6th Annual Conference on October 3rd, 2019!

Alliance for Girls' Annual Conference amplifies cutting-edge ideas and powerful, grassroots leaders effecting change - leaders like Alicia Garza, Aimee Allison, and Zahra Billoo. Presenting provides a unique opportunity to amplify your work, build your professional network, and create a lasting impact on girls, young women, and their communities. Specifically, you'll be presenting to more than 500 intergenerational leaders and girls' champions from across the country including:
  • Funders, sponsors, and donors
  • Alliance for Girls members and service providers
  • Girls and young women*
  • Girls' advocates, parents and educators
  • System partners (schools, policymakers)
  • Media / Press
This year's theme is A Movement for Equity, to support the realization of our vision to advance equitable communities in which every girl thrives. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend breakout sessions that fall under two tracks:
  • Gender Liberation: Girls Without Limits - Elevating positive models for affirming gender identity and expression and eliminating racial and gender bias
  • Advancing Equity: Advocating for System Change - Learn about key policies and effective mobilization strategies to create more equitable systems
We invite proposals for dynamic, one-hour sessions that highlight effective approaches, cutting-edge research, policy initiatives, and new ideas that relate to these themes. Sessions can take the form of two formats:
  1. Case Study + Practical Application: Share a case study from your work/organization that provides lessons for attendees to apply to their own work. Must be highly interactive and provide opportunities for attendees to practice in-session.  
  2. Thought Leadership Panel: Coordinate a panel of inspiring leaders (can include yourself) to have a candid conversation about current issues, strategies, and the future of the girls' movement.
Please use the form below to tell us more about you and the content you're offering. Proposals are due on June 16, 2019.
