NECAP’s Fourth Conference
Welcome to the 2025 New England Community Action Partnership Annual Conference. Our theme this year is “Reimagining our Journey Together.” Each day, each month, each year we work to alleviate poverty. We don’t do this alone. We work with allies, collaborators and most importantly with those experiencing poverty. We reimagine to address inequity at all levels. The workshops are led by those experts within our Agencies, our Federal Partners, and issue professionals. We will learn together, inspire, change and support each other and strengthen our efforts to bring justice to our communities. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Here, on March 27 & 28, 2025 in Burlington, Vermont, that work continues as we make reimagining a reality.
