Lincoln – The Nebraska Court Improvement Project (CIP) has opened registration for the 2019 Children’s Summit.

This year’s Summit focuses on “Progress through Prevention.”

CIP welcomes keynote speakers Tammi Fleming, senior associate at Annie E. Casey Foundation; Steven Teske, chief judge of the Juvenile Court of Clayton County, Georgia; and Jerry Milner, associate commissioner at the Children’s Bureau, acting commissioner for Family and Youth Services Bureau and the acting commissioner for the Administration on Children, Youth and Families.

In addition to these plenary sessions, the summit offers 60 breakout sessions aligned in 10 tracks of interest: child welfare, juvenile justice, attorney/legal, native youth and families, special populations, courts, behavioral health, prevention, schools/education, and collaboration. These breakout sessions will be presented by nearly 90 experts from fields and agencies concerned with court-involved children and youth.
