On October 8, 1998, Judy and Dennis Shepard got the middle-of-the-night phone call that all parents dread. Their son, Matthew, was in a coma following a brutal attack that was determined to be a hate crime.
Three days later, Matthew died from his injuries...but his spirit lives on through the public outcry that the incident sparked and the powerful messages Judy Shepard has delivered over the past 10 years. Ms. Shepard will join us in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she will share her message about what professional counselors can do to help make our communities and our schools safer for everyone, regardless of their race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation.
Developing a climate of access, equity, and excellence in education for all students is the topic of keynote speaker C. Adolfo Bermeo, PhD, who is a Senior Scholar for The Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. Dr. Bermeo works with both state and national organizations committed to increasing access to higher education for historically underrepresented first-generation and low-income students. In the K-12 arena, he worked closely with the Los Angeles Achievement Council to provide counselors and other school officials with strategies for achieving a climate conducive to success.
Dr. Bermeo, Ms. Shepard, and many other experts in all settings and specializations within counseling will present their most current work, insightful case studies, and practical techniques at the ACA 2009 Conference & Exposition. The event, co-sponsored by the North Carolina Counseling Association, will be held March 19-23 in Charlotte.
The ACA Annual Conference & Exposition is the largest gathering of professional counselors in the world and the premier source for professional development across many different specialties within the field.
Remember, by registering before August 31, 2008 you can save up to $170. Registration rates increase incrementally after September 1.
Register online now or call 800-347-6647 (8 am - 7 pm ET, M-F). Conference housing will open on August 1.
Regards,
The ACA Conference & Exposition Team
