March 2019, in Los Angeles, California will bring together a remarkable assemblage of speakers and presenters with the vision to influence and affirm the power within others, leaving a legacy of giving. The 20th Annual Families and Fathers Conference is a four-day experience. The ability of the speakers to give some over half a century in service with and for others to have a better life is a testament of leadership. Following the passion for being part of the process of others' succeeding is one of the contagious elements of empowering leaders. Fathers and Families Coalition of America has the infusion of some special Featured Talk Speakers from Puerto Rico, Australia, the United States that are fortified with workshop speakers from Ireland, England, Scotland and others throughout the United States addressing how we collectively and globally can make a positive difference in the lives within our communities, nation and internationally. The honest and straightforward messages from the morning general sessions Talk Speakers will touch the hearts of attendees, simultaneously challenging us all to do better for children next-door or across the globe. In less then nine-years, FFCA has had well over fifty affiliate agencies. Remarkable, the international response to address the needs of children, which has led to affiliates from Africa, China, Australia, United Kingdom, Europe, Caribbean, and the United States to examine, "what can we do to work side-by-side with parents to policy-makers for the betterment of families and children?"
Fathers and Families Coalition of America is honored to bring a message of affirmation, resiliency, wholeness, and the power of vision to transform the lessons provided into a legacy of empowerment. Of course, our national and internationally attended conference has dynamic professional development workshop presentations. The entire program forthcoming is inspirational, and one does not miss out on getting their overflow of information and especially something creative to apply for themselves, working with others and giving to others. Ikigai (生き甲斐,) is a Japanese term for "a reason for being" and we believe that at the 20th Annual Families and Fathers Conference, attendees will have their purpose renewed, refreshed, and for some clarity with vision to be that particular part of legacy, if it is with your family, friends, co-workers, communities it all starts with you.
We invite you to invest in you and join us March 4-7, 2019 and stay connected year-round with the speakers, new network, and a community of leaders inspired to give for others to succeed, just as the following featured speakers have made their life's work as global leaders for their communities. The reason for which you and these leaders, speakers, and many stakeholders wake up in the morning to find our ikigai goes back vision to make a difference in the lives of others for positive and healthy outcomes.
