Convoy of Hope and HOPE Begins Here invite you to SAVE THE DATE for a first of its kind Region VI Human Services & Disasters Summit. Region VI includes the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Click here to view the Save the Date! flyer.

The purpose of the Human Services & Disasters Summit is to educate stakeholders in Region VI about the role of human services in a disaster; provide a forum for stakeholders to discuss the delivery of human services in disaster response; and to identify issues and challenges facing Region VI and develop strategies to address them.

Participants will include officials from State, Tribal and Local human services programs such as Head Start, Early Head Start, Child Support Enforcement, Child Welfare, Youth Development & Mentoring, Developmental Disabilities, Foster Care and Adoption, Unaccompanied Minors, Human Trafficking, Community Services, and many other human service programs.

These participants will be joined by Federal, State, Tribal, and Local Emergency Management Officials, Representatives from many Volunteer Associations, Faith-based and Community Organizations, and Academia from across Region VI to strengthen the dialogue on how we can all effectively support and assist disaster-impacted communities and promote recovery.
