Dear Friend:

You are cordially invited to the 19th Annual Educational Exchange of the Georgia Association of Community Service Boards, Inc (GACSB) scheduled for October 23-25, 2016 at Chateau Elan in Braselton, Georgia. The Educational Exchange brings a common perspective to professionals and advocates providing Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases services in Georgia. 

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 (CSBs). Applications have been submitted for CEU credits with GPA, NASW, LPCA, GACA, and GAMFT. CMEs have also been requested for physician level participants. 

Please consider how your organization can help equip our members to be even more efficient and successful in an increasingly competitive market.

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
• Plenary Sessions
• Breakfast in the exhibit hall
• Breaks in the exhibit hall

We welcome you to become a part of THE meeting of the year by becoming a sponsor and reserving exhibit space. Exhibit space is limited and will be offered on sponsorship level, then first-come basis.
