National speakers to headline claritycon2015 keynote & lunch
The claritycon2015 conference team is nearly ready to reveal the keynote and luncheon lineup! Like 2013 and 2014, our objective is to have speakers who are nationally-known in their field, and bring a powerful perspective.
We have also been reviewing survey comments from claritycon2014 for breakout topics and are finalizing breakout speakers, too. Thank you to all who attended claritycon2014 for your input. Watch for more details on our website.
We'd also like to thank all the people who submitted ideas for our 2015 monthly community CEU events. We are working on those topics as well and will be announcing the first CEU, scheduled for January 17, soon.
Congratulations to Megan Colletta, LCSW! Her name was drawn for the $25 Amazon gift card from the suggestions for our 2015 CEU topics. Thank you Megan!
If you did not have a chance to submit a topic and would still like to do so, please email Beth Confer with your idea. We want to know what topics related to children's mental health would be beneficial learning opportunities for you.
