About the Conference and RFP Process
Deadline: All proposals must be submitted by 5:00 pm on November 14, 2014. Proposals must be submitted via surveymonkey.
Selection: Presenters will be notified on or about January 30, 2015.
Joint Council on International Children's Services and the National Council For Adoption are pleased to announce their joint conference - Putting Family First: Family Strengthening to Adoption - which will be held in Arlington, VA (metro D.C.) from June 22, 2015 to June 24, 2015. Professionals and academics in the child welfare community are invited to submit proposals to present at the Conference. Proposals are being requested for the hour-long sessions. Speakers are encouraged to include the audience and encourage discussion throughout sessions. Sessions will run in tandem with country specific Round Table Discussions.
For decades, NCFA and Joint Council have provided child welfare experts, academics, and practitioners a unique forum to share their knowledge about the unique issues facing vulnerable children domestically and worldwide.
Joint Council and NCFA are interested in proposals that empower child welfare professionals with new information and ideas that introduce attendees to creative programs that serve children and families in need. CE credits will be granted to attendees, therefore special consideration will be given to proposals that address emerging issues affecting practitioners, including sessions designed around the USG Action Plan on Children in Adversity, social justice and equality, creative family empowerment programs, global foster care services, permanent deinstitutionalization, domestic adoption programs, and the unique medical and nutritional needs of children living outside of family care. Special consideration will also be given to proposals which bridge the academic prospective and the practitioner prospective.
This year's Conference will include the following tracks:
- Health/Medical Care
- Family Care First or Family, Community and System Strengthening
- Adoption
Detailed information on these tracks will be provided later in the RFP form.
More information about previous Conferences and 2015 Conference topics/issues can be found on the next page, as well as what you will need to submit an RFP. Further information is available at http://www.puttingfamilyfirstconference.org/.
