Conference Registration Scholarships Available for Kinship Caregivers for upcoming Las Vegas Convention

Conference Registration Scholarships Available for Kinship Caregivers for upcoming Las Vegas Convention!

Would it help you to attend this first convention, if you had a FREE registration?  If you are willing to work 3 hours with us at the convention registration desk, then we will cover your registration costs for the convention. Email Cate Hawks at hawks@fovf.org to get your FREE convention registration! Hurry, hotel rooms are booking up quickly and discounted convention rates will end next week.

Here are some details about the convention for you.

The National Kinship Alliance is partnering with the National Foster Parent Association on a NATIONAL CONVENTION at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, Nevada! The convention theme, “Better Together: Collaborating for Kids” was developed to enhance the individual work that foster and kinship families must do together to help children build resilience and maintain family connections.

The convention dates will be June 22-25, 2016. Please register today. If you first go to our website and join for $10, then you can register for the entire convention for $175 (as opposed to $225 for non-members)!  We have worked to keep the cost to families as low as possible. We have arranged for hotel rooms to range from $98 per night during the week to $145 on the weekend. Flights to Las Vegas can generally be found cheaper than most locations! We hope you can join us!

The agenda is here and was developed with input from foster and kinship families and professionals!

We will also have a kinship meet and greet event at the convention, so when you are there check the message board for details!!
