With the release of her new book, Be Who You Are to Get What You Want, Damali Peterman, Esq., will discuss how to be an authentic advocate for yourself, your neighbors and your community, especially in times and circumstances when advocacy seems difficult or impossible.

“Every fall, WCA gathers parents, educators, community members, government officials, and other key stakeholders to address a pressing issue affecting children. This year we are focusing on being an advocate for yourself and others in the current challenging climate. We are sure that everyone who attends will walk away with information and insight to help them feel enlightened and empowered,” stated Adam Rabinovitch, newly appointed Executive Director of WCA.
