SAVE THE DATE FOR ADPCA 2017
We are excited to announce that the annual meeting of the ADPCA will be held at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) from 7 p.m. on Wednesday July 19th through noon on Sunday, July 23rd 2017. There will be a free pre-conference workshop convened by Marge Witty on Wednesday 7/19 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. (with 1.5 hour lunch break). Dorm and meeting rooms are all located in the UIC Student Center East, 700 South Halsted Street, Chicago, Illinois 60607. Chicago Counseling Associates has applied to offer continuing education credits for psychologists, social workers and counselors.
As in the past, we hope to assist as many as possible for whom conference costs are a barrier. We hope to maintain and vivify the multi-national collaboration that the person-centered approach has long valued. We encourage early registration to help us in planning for scholarships. Registration forms and additional information will be posted on the ADPCA website and sent through the list serves within the next couple of weeks.
We also invite all interested persons to submit ideas for presentations. We would appreciate your initial thoughts as soon as possible, and ask for a working title and proposal by March 31, 2017 so that we can begin compiling the conference program. Whether you wish to offer a formal paper or gather an informal conversation, please send your ideas by email to adpca2017@gmail.com
