Join us for Adoption Network Cleveland's Annual Meeting on Thursday, November 19th, at our offices located at 2592 West 14th Street in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood.

On behalf of Adoption Network Cleveland's Board of Directors and Executive Director (Betsie Norris), we invite all members, donors, partners, advocates, public officials, and the public to attend this celebration of our accomplishments of the last year. The evening will include the presentation of awards - our Volunteer of the Year and Advocate of the Year - followed by a keynote address, "The Family Story We Tell: Kinship, Secrecy, and the Lifelong Work of Belonging," from Brittan Berry.

ABOUT THIS YEAR'S KEYNOTE SPEAKER:
Brittan Berry is a Cleveland-based business leader, mother of three, and advocate for families whose stories do not fit neatly on a family tree. Her experience with kinship care has shaped how she thinks about belonging, education, and socioeconomic disparities for children.

Brittan is Head of Strategy and Operations at Circuit & Chisel, an applied AI company. She holds an MBA from Yale School of Management and has built her career across technology, startups, and community-focused work. She is grateful for the work of Adoption Network Cleveland and the space it creates for people to speak openly about the many ways families are formed and sustained.
