BGHRA Call for proposals 2024

BGHRA Annual Conference Call for Proposals (CFP)

This year’s three-day, virtual event, JOY… and PAIN, will be held on February 22-25, 2024 and will be free and open to the public.“Frankie Beverly and Maze have never lied,” comments Dr. Keith Green, BGHRA Executive Director of Events & Publications. This moment, this life, in which the pairing of two simple words, joy and pain, succinctly articulates the human condition. This year’s annual BGHRA Conference: Joy…and Pain, invites us to consider what means to hold space for both, to understand that at the core, exists love.
