The Center for Law and Social Policy is announcing a new series of audio
conferences, "Low Wages in the New Economy: Implications for Families." The
audio conferences will be held on Fridays (and occasional Wednesdays) from
12:30 to 1:30 pm (EST), beginning February 9, 2001 through Dec. 7, 2001. A
link to the registration form and brochure is attached (see below).
Among the topics covered are...
* The status of child poverty in the
U.S.,
* New strategies for food stamps,
children's health insurance,
child support, and housing,
* The future of universal Pre-K,
* Emerging lessons from the states on
the impact of
the New Economy on families,
* The impact of work/welfare programs
on families
* The fate of diverted teen parents,
and
* Key issues surrounding the
reauthorization of PRWORA in 2002.
Guest speakers will include politicians and policy makers, such as Sen. Zell
Miller of Georgia, Gov. Gary Locke of Washington, California State
Assemblymember Dion Aroner, and Nashville Mayor Bill Purcell, as well as
research and policy experts, including Marian Wright Edelman of the
Children's Defense Fund, David Ellwood, from the Kennedy School of
Government at Harvard, and Rebecca Blank of the Ford School of Public Policy
at the University of Michigan. Other guests include front line workers,
agency officials, and other experts.
These audio conferences typically include 300-1,000 listeners who "tune in"
for this lively "talk show." This new series will be particularly
informative in laying out some of the key issues for low-income children and
families in time for consideration of welfare reauthorization in 2002.
You can save yourself time and money by signing up for the entire series.
If you sign up for all 13 audio conferences or tapes (if you can't listen
live), you get lucky by saving yourself $15!
