Opening
Networking Reception
This year's institute opened with a networking reception to welcome first time attendees and
for returning attendees to rekindle contacts
made at previous Institutes. Information shared and gathered during
these informal networking events has proven extremely valuable for all
attendees.
Opening
Keynote Plenary Session
On Monday, we welcomed our
attendees to our opening keynote session. Welcoming remarks were
given by (from left to right), Mary Urzi, NSDTA president, Jerry Friedman,
APHSA Executive Director, and Bryan Samuels, Director of the Illinois
Department of Children and Family Services. Dr. Katherine
Briar-Lawson, (pictured at far right) Dean of the School of Social Work,
University of Albany, State University of New York, presented the opening
keynote session.
Workshops
Workshops are the cornerstone of
our annual Institutes. In Chicago we had over 70 workshops and
learning opportunities. To learn more about what was presented, read
our Chicago Workshop Abstracts.
Awards Luncheon
The NSDTA Board of Directors
continued our awards tradition started at the 10th National Institute in
1997 in Washington, DC. Many unsung individuals and programs provide
outstanding training for the staff of public welfare and child welfare
agencies without noted recognition. We congratulate our 2004 Award
winners!
