Innovate Integrate Inspire

2019 Call for Presentations Is Now Open

Teaching-Family Association 42 ^nd Annual Conference

October 20-23, 2019 (Sunday-Wednesday)

Kingsgate Hotel & Conference Center

151 Goodman Street, Cincinnati, Ohio

The Teaching-Family Association is seeking presentations for its 42 ^nd Annual Conference which will be held October 20-23, 2019.

Every year anticipation is high, with attendees looking forward to learning from colleagues and peers alike. TFA’s success, both collectively and individually, depends on the professionalism, passion, expertise and creativity that you bring to your work. Come share that with us!

We invite you to help us grow by submitting a presentation for this year’s conference. In addition to presentations, concurrent sessions and poster presentations are also options for educating; choose the method that you believe suits your topic best.

This year’s conference theme, “Innovate Integrate Inspire” speaks to so much of what our Association is all about; our past, present and future. Four tracks of focus will provide conference attendees valuable opportunities to learn, participate, discuss, and take a deeper dive beyond theory and into practice and application.

Proposals should relate to one of the following tracks:

· Practitioners (anyone working directly with those receiving services)

· Management: Integrated Systems and Fidelity

· Innovative Practices

· Executives: Trends, Research and Outcomes

Workshops and posters focusing on other areas (outside these tracks) that reflect innovative and effective practices will also be considered.

We seek presentations in the form of 50-minute and 90-minute workshops and poster presentations for the poster session to be held during our opening reception. These formats provide excellent opportunities to share your amazing work with the field at large.

We invite all professionals involved with TFA and those working in other private, public, and government sectors to submit proposals.
