PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
By President Jeff Reynolds, Ph.D., LCPC
The 2017 Illinois ATSA conference is in the books. By all appearances it was a great success. We would like to thank all of you who were able to attend. We hope you enjoyed the programming and were able to leave the conference with new ideas of how to better reduce sexual violence. Special thanks go to Dr. Robin Wilson and Dr. Michael Caldwell as well as all of our presenters who helped make the conference a success. Please watch your emails for the next edition of the ILATSA newsletter. Many of our presenters will be giving overviews of their presentations as well as their thoughts on the conference.
We are still tabulating the evaluations collected this year and will use this information to make next year’s conference even better. Later in the year we will issue a call for proposals for presentations at the 2018 ILATSA conference which will be held March 15 & 16, 2018 at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove. So, whether you are presenting or simply wanting to learn and network with others, we look forward to seeing you there.
