NARME 2013 Conference: Presenters Wanted!
Our Conference Focus: “Marriage & Relationship Education: Champions for Marriages, Families, Children and Parents”
The National Association for Relationship and Marriage Education (NARME) is currently seeking qualified, professional speakers – experts in their field to present at the 3rd annual “Marriage & Relationship Education Conference: Champions for Marriages, Families, Children and Parents” in Anaheim, California, August 25-30, 2013. This conference will offer an array of topics geared toward building strong marriages, parents, and families. In preparing for a successful event, we realize that our sessions are only as effective as our presenters.
Staying in line with the mission of NARME, it is our desire to offer a conference that will foster education for healthy marriages, responsible fathers and strong families. We are seeking presenters that will join us in this endeavor to deliver quality sessions as well as enhance the overall conference experience. As we begin to select speakers for this upcoming conference, we hope that this will become a lifelong partnership.
All workshops should tie into the theme of the conference. Presenters are expected to provide insightful information that will enhance the abilities of organizations, practitioners, and/or individuals to provide services to couples, fathers, families, and youth and single adults from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.
