CONFERENCE CENTRAL

Welcome to Conference Central, your one-stop shop for information and resources for Camp Fire USA's first National Leadership Conference.

CLICK HERE FOR A NLC SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!

As you may know, the yearly National Leadership Conference (NLC) succeeds the former biennial Camp Fire USA National Convention. The NLC will spare the fanfare of an exhibit hall and large banquets in favor of deeper training opportunities for key council staff and volunteers.

This new training format presents an exciting opportunity for practical, ongoing trainings to maximize council capacity systemwide, as well as a great chance to network with colleagues across the country and have fun!

Please utilize this online NLC resource as you plan for your council's attendance at the National Leadership Conference. And check back periodically as new information is added!

WHO: In order to optimize the launch of our new ogranization-wide strategic plan and capitalize on training opportunities, we need the senior representatives of all councils in attendance at the NLC.

Each council should plan to send:

• executive director/CEO
• board chair
• program director/other lead staff member
• youth representative(s)

WHEN: October 27-30, 2005—Plan to arrive midday Thursday for a general session that evening and depart midday Sunday, following the Congress meeting.

WHERE: Westin Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City, home of our National Headquarters!

Navigate the links to the left for details on training opportunities, registration process and rates, hotel reservations and room rates, deadlines and great things to do in Kansas City.

If you have questions about the NLC, please contact Jill Pasewalk, chief field services officer, at 800 669 6884, ext. 212, or jill.pasewalk@campfireusa.org.

We look forward to seeing you in October!
