2018 NIFLA National Legal & Medical Summit

The National Institute of Family & Life Advocates (NIFLA) will be hosting a National Legal & Medical Summit at The Founders' Inn on May 23-24, 2018. Regent Law Professors Lynne Marie Kohm and Bradley Jacob will be among the event speakers.

  
The Keynote Speaker for the evening is Michael Farris, President, Alliance Defending Freedom.  Through NIFLA's education in ultrasound training, guidance in becoming a medical clinic, direction on legal issues, and fighting legislative battles, pregnancy centers have been able to count on NIFLA to stand with them. Over the years, NIFLA has witnessed many positive changes. It is time to celebrate the reduction of the abortion rate. Lives are being saved and mothers in crisis are being helped.  While the legislative battles have been many, NIFLA stands victorious and will continue to fight for the legal protection of pro-life pregnancy centers to keep their doors open.  Together, with other pro-life organizations, NIFLA celebrates the gift of life for all. 

For 25 years, NIFLA has had the privilege of serving prolife pregnancy centers across the country. Our Celebration Dessert will be on May 23, 2018 at 7:00 PM at The Founder's Inn Atrium. Our keynote speaker will be Michael Farris, President of Alliance Defending Freedom.
