Time to Register for the Court Improvement Summit

The time has come to register for the 2014 Court Improvement Summit.

The 2014 Summit is Thursday and Friday, August 14th and 15th at the Salt Lake City Radisson. The theme of this year's Summit is The Fabric of Family: Reexamining the Role of Family Connections in Child Welfare.  You can download the Agenda HERE.

This conference is a great opportunity to hear nationally renowned, as well as, local speakers on the topic of family connections in Child Welfare.  Invited to attend are DCFS workers, AGs, GALs, Parental Defenders, Judges and other stakeholders in Utah's Child Welfare System.

The Parental Defense Alliance has been allotted 50 spaces at the conference.  If you are interested in attending please email me at kate@parentaldefense.org and I will get you the registration link.  Preference will be given to those attorneys with county contracts including conflict contracts.  I will keep a list of private attorneys interested in attending until any public defenders have been given the chance to register.

Cost
FREE.  I believe CLE credit will be available.

Lodging
Lodging on Wednesday night is available to those who work at least 50 miles from the Radisson.  Lodging on Thursday night is available to ALL regardless of distance.
