Dear Friends,
Last week, leaders from across America joined us in Washington, D.C., for SoConCon, the Social Conservative Policy Conference hosted by Family Policy Alliance Foundation.
Nearly 500 leaders representing more than 100 organizations gathered to build relationships, encourage one another, and strengthen the social conservative movement, reminding us that we are stronger when we stand and serve together. Leaders included elected officials, congressional staff, Family Policy Council leaders, policy experts, and ministry leaders from across the country.
SoConCon is more than a conference. It’s where leaders are equipped, partnerships are strengthened, and the relationships that advance our movement are built.
Here’s a glimpse of what made the week so special:
- Opening SoConCon with a devotional from Congressman Josh Brecheen (OK-02).
- Hearing from outstanding leaders like Vince Haley, Russ Vought, Sen. Jim Banks, Rick Santorum, and many others.
- Celebrating our nation’s 250th through a special America250 Awards Gala.
- Enjoying an evening of fellowship together aboard a dinner cruise on the Potomac River.
- Closing the conference with a live conversation between Tony Perkins and Speaker Mike Johnson.
But SoConCon was just one part of an incredible week.
We also hosted our annual Family Policy Council Conference, bringing together leaders from Family Policy Councils across the country to strengthen partnerships, share best practices, and encourage one another for the work ahead.
The week also marked our 10th annual Statesmen Academy, where we trained another outstanding class of elected officials. Today, Family Policy Alliance has trained and equipped more than 580 policymakers in 45 states through Statesmen Academy and School Board Academy, helping strengthen principled leadership in communities across America.
It was an honor to spend the week with so many leaders committed to serving their states and communities. I left Washington encouraged, not only by the outstanding speakers and meaningful conversations, but by the reminder that when we come together around shared convictions, we are better equipped to protect families, defend freedom, and faithfully serve our nation.
Thank you for your faithful prayers and support. Because of friends like you, Family Policy Alliance is able to convene leaders, strengthen relationships, and equip those serving on the front lines in states across the country.
