Florida TR Institute Seeking Speakers

Cory Kapes, MS, CTRS, has announced the "Therapeutic Recreation Institute" is to be held August 27-29, 2011, in Orlando, Florida. Below follows part of his announcement:

We are doing this in partnership with the Florida Parks and Recreation Association (FRPA). FRPA will be holding their annual conference in Orlando, Aug. 29 - Sept. 2. Since the space will already be open for programming, they have offered it up to us, along with administrative support, to make the TR Institute happen. You will NOT need to be a member of FRPA, or any organization, to register. By sharing resources we feel we can offer a great opportunity for education and networking at a very reasonable price.

We are seeking presenters for the Institute. We have so many talented people in our profession doing incredible work everyday. Please consider taking this opportunity to step up, get involved and share your talents with your colleagues. The feedback we got last year was that people would like to learn more about the current issues and trends in our field, different documentation techniques, partnerships and innovative programming ideas. If you are interested but are not sure about a topic, drop a line, we will work with you to develop a session.

Note we are on a tight time line so please get back to us ASAP if you are interested (the November 1st deadline has been extended to 11/22).

For more information or to submit a session please contact Dawn Lewellyn at Dawn.Lewellyn@Myclearwater.com.
