The Third Annual Rock County Foster Parent conference promises to be both informative and engaging for all attendees. The day will kick off at 8:30 a.m. with doors opening, registration, and morning refreshments. The Welcome and Opening Remarks will be given by Shelbey Shelton, CPS Lead Supervisor and Katarina Craig, Substitute Care Supervisor. Welcomes will be followed by a conference icebreaker. The morning keynote address will be given by award winning author and speaker, Emi Nietfeld. Emi is joining us from New York! She will talk about The True Meaning of Resilience. Participants will then head to their pre-selected morning break-out sessions.
We will come back together for a catered lunch from Hacienda Real of Janesville. We will then participate in a group activity. Pre-selected afternoon break-out sessions will follow. Our afternoon will wrap up with a Keynote address given by Associate Professor of Human Development & Relationships, Patricia Carroll.
