When you select a meeting location, be sure to plan for:

  • comfortable seating for all

How to be part of the conference when viewing as part of a group

Option I: Have one person in the group log in to the conference online and connect to a large screen/TV

  • We recommend that you arrange the seating in such a way that everyone has access to the screen/ TV, as well as each other for discussions
  •  For those in the group wanting to participate in the virtual chats and/or connect with chapter leaders attending virtually, they have th eoption to login on their personal devices

Option 2: Instead of viewing the conference on a large screen/TV, everyone in the group can login on their personal devices

Chapter Attendees

HERE IS WHAT ATTENDEES OF THE 2022 VIRTUAL CONFERENCE HAD TO SAY:

  • Understand CAMFT organization better, and be more aware of all the support available from state and other chapter leaders (outside own chapter) ~ San Fernando Valley Chapter
  • To feel more connected and have a sense of purpose in their roles within their chapter! ~ Los Angeles Chapter
  • To feel more engaged and to get ideas for a good chapter.~ Sierra Foothills Chapter
  • Aside from the valuable content, dynamic presenters, is the opportunity to meet amazing CAMFT members statewide. ~ Sacramento Valley Chapter
  • It's THE way to network with other emerging leaders in the field, and to ensure you're using best practices as a chapter.~ State Board member, Chico Regional Chapter

  • The work we do in our chapters can be very isolating. It's incredibly helpful to hear how we're all facing the same industry changes, and it's great to have the chance to learn from each other.~ Sacramento Valley Chapter

  • Professional growth and development and leadership succession. ~ Southwest Riverside County Chapter
