</font>The Understanding the Culture of Poverty Conference (see attached
for more details) is a two-day workshop that will offer participants an
opportunity to consider the realities of what it means to "live in
poverty." Through the research of Dr. Ruby Payne, Ph.D., this
compelling and interactive workshop provides a foundation to understand
the variables that sometimes interfere with achievement and success for
the community of poverty. Participants will leave with strategies for
effectively engaging with the community of poverty. <br><br>
