ABOUT

Policy Forum

2021

National Child Support Enforcement Association

NCSEA’s Policy Forum is THE conference dedicated to the policies and issues influencing the child support program at the national, state, and local levels. This year’s NCSEA Policy Forum is taking on the timely and tough subject of diversity, equity and inclusion. Our child support community is known for our innovation and resilience- it’s time we apply our formidable skill and creativity to issues of bias, barriers, racial trauma, and systemic inequities to ensure the best outcomes for families. It’s time to start Moving Towards Equity through Policy.
 

Over five days spanning two weeks our child support community will come together virtually to talk about the impacts of our policy choices on the people we serve. How do we, as an institution, reckon with the ways we help or harm and how do we move forward to be more equitable and inclusive? Be part of this dynamic dialog and join us for 12 impactful plenaries and three discussion groups to unpack what we are learning to Move Towards Equity Through Policy.
