You are cordially invited to the 16th Annual Educational Exchange of the Georgia Association of Community Service Boards, Inc (GACSB) scheduled for October 20-22, 2013 at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort & Spa in Savannah, Georgia. The Educational Exchange brings a common perspective to professionals and advocates providing Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases services in Georgia.  Applications have been made for CEU credits with GPA, NASW, LPCA, GNA, GACA, and GAMFT. CMEs have also been requested for physician level participants.

 The theme of this year’s conference is “Leading the Way.” Our goal is to provide speakers who will open new vistas of thought and planning for executives and top staff at each of the Georgia Community Service Boards (CSB). Members can click on the REGISTRATION TAB at the top to submit your on-line registration.

Sponsors/Exhibitors: Please consider how your organization can help equip our members to be even more efficient and successful in an increasingly competitive market. Perhaps you will want to customize your exhibit along the theme “Leading the Way.”

The format for this year’s conference is specially designed to create more exposure for your organization and increased interaction with decision makers.

Major exhibit times include the following special events:

• Welcome reception in the exhibit hall
• Plenary Session and dinner adjacent to the exhibit hall
• Breakfast both mornings in the exhibit hall
