CALL FOR PRESENTERS
Deadline for information: March 4, 2022
Invitation to Presenters
The Connecticut Alliance of Foster and Adoptive Families 27th Annual Conference will be held in-person at the Mystic Marriott and Spa. Workshops are scheduled on Friday May 6th and Saturday May 7th. We have 1.5-hour sessions that may be conducted by a single presenter/co-presenter, or a panel. Conference attendees include foster, adoptive and kinship care providers along with child welfare agency staff, clinicians, and community service providers.
This year our conference theme is “Supporting The Supporter” Please tailor your workshop title and description to reflect this theme. Some ideas/possible titles are: Surviving Remote Learning, The Trauma of Social Distancing; It’s Someone’s Life, Can I speak in Court for my Foster Child, and Dad’s Matter Too. We will be looking for new and creative approaches, as well as answers to many of the same issues faced by today’s children/youth in foster care and those who provide a safe nurturing home on a temporary or permanent basis.
We regret that we are unable to provide payment to presenters and we are unable to reimburse presenters for costs incurred to participate in the conference. We do value the time and expertise presenters bring to the conference.
If you would like to be considered as a workshop presenter, please fill out the application located on the next page. All submissions must be received no later than March 4, 2022.
