Let Us Dream Conference

Binghamton University presents the Let Us Dream Conference:

Date: Friday, November 18, 2022
Time: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Location: via Zoom

The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required. This year’s theme will focus on Uniting in Divisive Times.

The Let Us Dream Conference seeks to empower people of diverse age groups and backgrounds to participate in building a better tomorrow. This conference offers an opportunity to explore and share the many and varied community-service possibilities and intervention models. The primary intent is to create an inclusive, diverse, cross-cultural environment for sharing and growth through community improvement discourse among scholars, practitioners, students, and volunteers. It operates using an impactful and effective community-based working model that joins people together while also bridging community organizations.

The conference will include three panel discussions: education, health and social.

Keynote speakers include:

• Dr. Lotta Granholm, Professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical campus will present Maintaining a Healthy Brain in the face of Stress, Injury and Adversity
• Kristin Licardi, Associate Executive Director of Behavioral Health Services at Green Chimneys Children’s Services in Brewster, New York, will present Cultivating Resilience in Turbulent Times.

The conference will spotlight a local community unsung hero organization that impacts the lives of others in our community with their selfless contributions.

Be part of the change to build a better tomorrow.
