I would hope this event will include the financial exploitation, embezzlement and fraudulent billing by the guardians with court approval in the guardianship, conservatorship racket.

My thoughts are: Highly unlikely

I agree, financial exploitation by the system won't even be thought of. But, the fact that they're having this type of meeting is a beginning.

Hopefully some conservatorship victims can attend this event and bring notice to the plight of those who suffer unjustly as victims of conservatorship abuse.
