COPAL is eager to join CPD in Philadelphia, where the national network of organizations will dedicate itself to collective leadership, facilitating the exchange of ideas, and enhancing the capacity of communities at the national level. Working together, these organizations strive to cultivate a deep sense of unity and common purpose among communities at the national level. By actively participating in this conference, COPAL aims to align with its Vision for 2025 and provide its members with valuable opportunities to enhance their skills and preparedness to drive positive change within their communities.
Members are the primary dreamers and shapers of our work, and their participation is essential in enhancing their skills as they continue to drive positive change within their communities.
An essential aspect of COPAL’s strength lies in its membership with CPD, which has over 50 member organizations spread across 33 states, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico. Through these shared resources and knowledge, COPAL and its partners can learn from the exchange of ideas and develop leadership skills to collectively address societal challenges and drive positive transformations, ultimately leaving a meaningful impact on the lives of their communities.
During the convention, COPAL alongside other organizations from throughout the country will actively participate in a range of activities, including political actions, workshops, and guest speaker events.
