2024 AWARDS & POLICY LUNCHEON
October 28, 2024

About the Event

The Rhode Island Coalition for Children and Families brought together community human service and health providers with corporate, government, and philanthropic leaders at our 2024 Policy and Awards Luncheon at the Providence Marriott Downtown on October 28, 2024. First initiated in 2018 and suspended during the COVID-19 epidemic, our event celebrates the work of our sector in promoting the safety, health, and success of children, youth, and families. This year’s luncheon will be an opportunity to hear from a dynamic leader in our field, honor elected leaders and lift up particular legislative actions and recognize the contributions of public sector and community champions.

Our keynote was Linda Spears, President & CEO of the Child Welfare League of America, a powerful coalition of hundreds of private and public agencies that, since 1920, has championed better lives for millions of children and families who are vulnerable.
