From the invitation to the 2000
conference:
Hello! Please
join us in Cleveland in April for NAPC’s 2000 national conference.
As community-building leaders and practitioners approach the
challenges of the new millennium, this conference will offer unique
opportunities for learning, connecting with colleagues, and re-energizing our
shared commitment. If you are leading, participating in, researching,
teaching about, studying, or simply interested in effective
community-based planning and mobilization to address human service and health
needs, then this conference – and NAPC – will be valuable to you.
CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:
This year, a special feature: April 6, the NAPC
conference opening day, will be spent at the 58th annual Human
Services Institute sponsored by the Federation for Community Planning in
Cleveland (at the Convention Center). The Institute program is
outstanding! (To learn more about the Federation and the Institute, be sure
to visit their new website: www.fcp.org.
You may also download the Institute brochure.)
- Keynote speakers are Julian Bond, Chairman of NAACP,
and Theda Skocpol, nationally-renowned author, researcher and Harvard
University professor.
- Choose from eight tracks / sixteen workshop
sessions. Track topics are Welfare Reform, Human Services &
Schools, Public Health, Aging, Regional Dynamics, Race Relations, Nonprofit
Communications, and Nonprofit Management.
- Browse a Resource Marketplace with 100 exhibits by local
nonprofit organizations, and enjoy the Federation’s annual awards honoring
Cleveland’s nonprofit leaders and volunteers.
- Continuing education credits
will
be offered: LSW, LPC, CLE.
- Don’t miss the Pre-Institute Dinner on Wednesday
evening, April 5. NAPC members and conference participants have been
invited, along with Human Services Institute speakers, Federation for
Community Planning board and staff members and supporters, and other
Cleveland community leaders.
On Friday and Saturday, back at the Sheraton, the NAPC
conference will continue. Friday’s highlights will include
roundtables on timely topics -- health and human services indicator data
preparation, distribution and applications; what’s working in welfare to work;
plus our own Resource Fair for exchanging information. We’ll join
professors from Case Western Reserve and Cleveland State University for an
extended luncheon session with Institute keynoter Theda Skocpol. On Friday
night, we’ll enjoy a group dinner in The Flats, Cleveland’s entertainment
district. Saturday’s breakfast roundtables will feature dialogue on
several high-interest topics, with discussions led by NAPC members from around
the country. Then, Saturday’s sessions will focus on the work of
planning councils, culminating in a strategic planning session, an update on the
community-building work of other national organizations, and the NAPC annual
meeting/luncheon. (Download the
