4th Annual National Legislative Training Conference (AFESP Conference) – Sept 24-25, 2021
The Americans For Equal Shared Parenting (AFESP) was started by Mark Ludwig out of the need to be the best parent he could be to his son, Levi. After going through his own experience and learning of other parents that had been relegated to weekend visitors, he decided to use his background in politics to effect change in the current Family Court system. If you want to learn how you can make significant change to the laws in your state, you will want to attend this conference. We urge you to join us IN PERSON, however we want this information available to all. Please join us at this conference to network and learn from the professionals and elected officials who work to change laws everyday.
