Hilton Garden Inn - Capitol 1225 First Street NE Washington DC, 20005
With generous support from the Raymond B. Preston Family Foundation, the 8th Annual iStand Parent Network Inc. International Parents Conference & Embassy Walk harnesses the power of love, advocacy and collective action to empower parents and families of internationally-abducted children and to advance public policy solutions to prevent and end International Parental Child Abduction (IPCA) and bring America’s Stolen Children home.
About our theme:
The current social and political climate is rife with division, partisanship and acrimony. Our imperative is to build bridges between families, governments and nations for family reunifications. Our ‘same page’ strategy means that our love, loyalty and labors for America’s Stolen Children must be Undivided--- and this is our conference theme.
Our love and devotion for our children is UNDIVIDED.
Our resolve to reunite with our children is UNDIVIDED.
Our determination to seek justice for children and families is UNDIVIDED.
Our mission to end International Parental Child Abduction is UNDIVIDED.
We are planning a dynamic schedule with annual and new events, a relevant, robust roster of speakers, workshops and training sessions for advocacy and engagement, and plenty of time for fellowship and fun! Stay tuned for announcements.
