The Association hosts community forums to listen to the experiences of a community related to the cause, identify needs and gaps in resources, and explore opportunities to expand our reach. These forums help the Association build trust and empower communities, establish a network of supporters, leverage volunteer resources, and build and strengthen community alliances.
