One of the Most Important
Aspects of our Local Chapter is hosting the Annual Training Conference and
Member Meeting.
During the past 12 months, we
hosted two such meetings. Our First Annual Conference
was held in October 2011 at the SeaTac Holiday Inn.
The theme was Divorce
Minefields and Milestones: Interdisciplinary Resources and Routes to
Resolution. There were nearly 100 people in
attendance to hear presentations by Dr. Marsha Hedrick, Dr. Daniel Rybicki,
Dr. Andrew Benjamin, and two panels of local professionals and judicial
officers. DVD and CD recordings and a description of the presentations is
found on the Conference
Recording Tab.
