Conference Committee

The purpose of the committee is to assist the Executive Director to ensure that the Association holds a professional conference twice a year. The Conference Committee provides support to the Association throughout the year, assisting the Association President in the selection of sites, negotiations with staff, and planning both the summer and the winter conferences.

Members of the conference committee perform tasks as assigned to facilitate conference planning with members of the selected site’s staff. Those tasks may include pre-conference and on-site registration, vendor notification and registration, meal and activities planning, guest lists, hospitality room coordination, room assignments, financial planning, and to assist with the solicitation of sponsors to enhance the conferences. Direct coordination between the Conference Committee, Finance Committee, Training Committee and Board of Officers is paramount to achieving a successful outcome for both the summer and winter conferences.
