Inaugural Poverty Action Conference 2009

The inaugural Poverty Action Conference (PAC) provides an exciting opportunity for like-minded students to come together and share the creative ways that they are working to combat poverty and promote economic development.

The PAC will offer participants the opportunity to present their unique programs to their peers and a panel of experts who will assist them in streamlining their program’s objectives, and overcoming the difficulties many young organizations face in transitioning the theory of the classroom into practice.

It is also an opportunity to introduce your programs to others who may like to get involved and introduce yourself to new ideas that can be utilized in your own initiatives.

PAC features key note speakers John Hatch of FINCA, Anne Hastings of Fonkoze, Paul Polak author of Out of Poverty, Stephen Smith of George Washington University and Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch as keynote speakers.
