 Frequently Asked Questions

Who may register?  Anyone who works or volunteers (in a formal position within an organization) for a Butler County agency or school and who is in a position where they assist families in accessing services and supports. Specifically:

  • Individuals who are new to Butler County, their agency or in a new role within their organization. “New” means less than one year.
  • Student interns may register only if space allows.
  • More experienced staff may attend if space allows.  Call Lauren Perry at 513-785-6770 to add your name to a waiting list if you are not ‘new’.

Do I need to attend both days or can I sign up for just one?  Single day registration is not an option. Due to the nature and goals of the event, registrants are expected to be available all day, both days.

What if I can’t walk long distances and/or board a bus?  Alternative transportation arrangements will be made to accommodate special needs.

What is included in the $50 fee?  Participants will be treated to breakfast, lunch and snacks each day. You will also receive a folder with information for all presenting agencies, access to a resource  table with information about non-presenting agencies, and DOOR PRIZES!

Are Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) provided?
No, CEUs are not provided for this event.
