Questions? 

Several people have called asking questions about the Leadership Summit so we thought we would answer them here just in case you were wondering the same things.

 

Question: Is the Leadership Summit for everybody?

 

Answer:  If you are working to strengthening families, YES! We want everybody to come to the Summit.  The focus of this Summit is on how all of us can further the family strengthening movement.  Whether you have a federal grant, state grant or no grant funding at all,  everyone of us should be positioning for the future.  The plenary sessions and workshops are designed to help you personally and professionally move to the next level.

 

Question:  Will there be training in specific curricula at the Summit?

 

Answer: Because so many have been trained in curricula and some are in a state of transition, the NARME Board thought it best to make this gathering different from the past.  The goal is to help people/organizations be positioned for the future  - a rising tide lifts all boats.  The plenary sessions and workshops are being delivered by national thought leaders who will focus on areas that are designed to challenge you and be catalytic in nature.  We MUST galvanize as a movement.  We will return to the regular conference format in 2016.

How well do you know your significant other?

Not well enough, at least according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal. More and more people are apparently employing private investigators to look into the backgrounds of their fiancés in order to decide whether to tie the knot. Read More
