South Carolina's "Parents Leading the Way Conference" was created to recognize the state's parent leaders, to educate the public about family strengthening and to encourage professionals, policymakers and other community members to create opportunities to partner with parents to address issues that affect children and families.
The conference assembles speakers to inspire, workshops to teach and friends to share valuable parenting information. Parents will be honored and celebrated for their leadership roles as volunteers, as advocates for children and as role models for all parents.
