INVITE YOUR LOVED ONES TO A SPECIAL PRESENTATION:
This year we're offering something we haven't done in the past - we're giving conference attendees an opportunity to invite their loved ones to sit in on a presentation that addresses the unique challenges that come with this profession and the trauma that may ensue as a result.
All spouses and significant others of those attending the conference are encouraged to join us on Thursday, April 6 at 1:30 pm. We are hoping that the information on trauma - identifying it, making sense of it, and addressing it - will be of great value. Encourage your loved ones to join us for this presentation. We will make sure there are additional chairs available! No need to let us know...simply have them accompany you at this training.
"What an outstanding opportunity for attendees and their significant others! I hope a lot of people take advantage of it. Way to go Training Committee! Our line of work takes a toll on everyone. We often overlook our loved ones and how secondary trauma effects them. I am very proud to be part of an organization that sees the value of educating not only its members but also their significant others on trauma." ~ Chief Mike Pace
WEDNESDAY BEND NIGHT OUT:
Wednesday night there will be an optional Evening Out in Bend. The bus will drop guests off at a convenient location downtown and then shuttle them back to the Riverhouse at a couple different times in the evening. The shuttle is $10/person or $15/couple. If you have not already signed up for this, you will have an opportunity to do so at the conference check in table. Please note, we are doing things differently this year. Because of the Charter Bus we have rented for the evening, we don't anticipate anyone waiting at the Riverhouse for a lift! We think this will provide conference attendees a moment's reprieve to enjoy visiting with colleagues in comfort as they make their way to one of Bend's great eating and drinking establishments. OACP Executive members will be serving as hosts at some of the locations, so if you are looking for a friendly face you can make your way to those venues. We will let you know which board member will be hosting at which location.
