As social service programs across North America continue to grow, there is an increasing need for conferences aimed at helping these programs, and the professionals that operate them, increase their effectiveness. As a recognized leader in the child-service industry, Daniel Memorial hosts two national conferences — the Independent Living Conference and the Foster Care Conference. Both of these conferences offer a variety of seminars, general sessions, workshops, and exhibits, as well as networking opportunities, designed to help professionals enhance their skills and improve their programs.
