New Hope is honored to be the host city for NERP’s (North East Regional Prides) 2013 conference in March 8-10, 2013. Regional conferences provide the delegates an opportunity to network with other Pride people from their general geography, learn about ways to improve their Pride festivals – and having fun together!
