SCRA 7th Biennial Conference Program
The Seventh Biennial Conference provided a dynamic forum for the presentation of cutting-edge work from a diverse array of participants, including professionals, community members, faculty, and students. A primary objective of the conference was to foster constructive dialogue, interaction, and the exchange of ideas within the field of community research and action.
The conference program featured a rich tapestry of sessions, including nearly 200 posters and over 100 symposia, roundtable discussions, workshops, town meetings, exhibits, and innovative session formats.
