CHANGE ON NARME 2013 CONFERENCE AUGUST DATES

[Patty Howell]

Hello everybody,

Please note the change of dates for this year's conference for the National Association for Relationship and Marriage Education (NARME), the most important conference for our field.  And, as the conference this year will be held in 
Anaheim, the first time it's been held in California, this represents a great opportunity for us on many levels:

1)  An inexpensive way to further the education of staff members and volunteers;

2)  A great way to showcase our RME work through workshops and/or booths in the exhibit hall;

3)  Networks benefits galore!  All the biggies in the field are likely to be there and no matter how tired you are of reading about all the benefits of networking, there are many advantages to knowing and being known.

Do put the NARME Conference on your calendars and stay alert to further postings.

Best to you all,

Patty

NARME 2013 CONFERENCE DATE CHANGE – IMPORTANT NOTICE!!

Just after the first of the New Year, the NARME board became aware of an unfortunate series of circumstances that will impact our annual conference in June.   The Office of Family Assistance scheduled their annual mandatory grantee conference on the exact same dates as the 2013 NARME annual conference.  This impacts a significant number of the conference attendees, many workshop facilitators and a number of the conference organizers. 

We are extremely grateful to the Anaheim Marriott conference team who has been diligently working with us to determine options for dealing with this difficult situation. 

Thankfully, we have come up with another week later in the summer to host the conference.

The NARME board made the decision to move the conference to August 25^th -30^th.  The three-day trainings will begin on Sunday, August 25^th, two-day trainings will begin on Monday, August 26^th and one-day trainings will begin on Tuesday, August 27^th.  The Opening Plenary of the conference will be Tuesday, August 27^th with the closing plenary taking place on Friday afternoon.

The Anaheim Marriot has generously agreed to extend the conference hotel room rates three days prior to the conference start dates through Labor Day weekend (pending availability) for those who would like to enjoy all that the Anaheim area has offer –Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, Downtown Disney, Angel Stadium, Disney Adventure, etc.

We are looking forward to you joining us for an incredible conference….just a few weeks later.
