Regional People of Color Legal Scholarship Conferences

We are aware of at least three regional people of color legal scholarship conferences coming up this year.  Those of you in law school teaching who write and research in the area of nonprofit and philanthropy law, and who have an interest issues of concern to minority populations, should contact the organizers of these conferences if you would like to present your work-in-progress.  If anyone is aware of currently scheduled presentations at these POC conferences that involve nonprofit or philanthropy law, please send us the details so that we can let other law professors know about these programs.
