SUMMARY:2025 Annual Mid-Atlantic VOAD Regional Conference
DESCRIPTION:March 30 – April 1\, 2025 | Cacapon State Park\, Berkeley Springs\, West Virginia \nThe Mid-Atlantic Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (DC VOAD\, DE VOAD\, MD VOAD\, PA VOAD\, and WV VOAD) are pleased to present: Beyond Band-Aids: Dismantling Systemic Inequities that Fuel Disaster Vulnerability at this year’s regional conference\, with keynote speaker\, Dr. Cassandra R. Davis. \nAs disaster response agencies\, we often respond to the most vulnerable\, marginalized\, and under-resourced communities affected by disasters. Systemic inequalities already exist for these populations well before a disaster strikes\, and they are exacerbated by the disaster. We find ourselves simultaneously “within” and “outside” of these systems. The conference will explore how we strategize\, work intentionally\, and become aware of our biases in responding from within these positions to bring equitable recovery for everyone. \nRegistration: To register and learn more about the Mid-Atlantic VOAD Regional Conference\, please click here.
