Featuring:
Keynote Address by Dr. Anthony Quintiliani
30 Workshops - Music - Art - Resources – Bookseller
Our theme is CollaboraFantasy – turning dreams into reality and embracing the collaborative spirit during challenging times.
During our opening session, we’ll hear from Agency of Human Services Secretary Rob Hofmann, and Anthony Quintiliani, a past presenter and a first time keynoter at our conference. Anthony’s workshops have been amongst the most popular over the past 6 years.
We have 30 workshops on important and interesting topics such as housing, transition youth, art and human services, Circles of Support and Neighborkeepers, leading during challenging times, improving educational outcomes for children and youth in foster care, parent involvement, promising trends in child welfare, refugee communities, supporting our military families, and many others.
The Arts Bus will be on-site (check out A10 in the brochure) as will participant favorites from last year, Ikkuma and Sura, therapy dogs (C10). In B1, you’ll have an opportunity to be trained to use a “low ropes” course so dress casually.
Our conference bookseller, Everyone’s Books from Brattleboro, will be with us again. We’ll present this year’s winner of the John Burchard “Spirit of Collaboration” award (nomination inside the conference brochure).
This will likely be the last year of this unique and special event, so don’t miss out!!
See you in Killington on October 16th.
