The South Dakota
School-Age Care Alliance (SoDakSACA) is an
organization of people interested in providing and
promoting quality out-of-school programs in South
Dakota. With more and more parents working, the need
for safe and enriching programs before and after
school, during school holidays, and in summer is
becoming greater each year. With that comes a need
for high quality, appropriate training for those
involved in providing these programs.
The 2008 SoDakSACA Conference will be held October
3-4 at the Watertown Event Center & Best Western
Ramkota Hotel, in Watertown. It is the intent of the
board of directors of this organization to provide a
wide spectrum of conference sessions addressing the
needs of those staff in administrative positions, as
well as care provider roles of both elementary and
middle school programs.
SoDakSACA invites you to submit a proposal for our
upcoming annual conference on the attached form. All
sessions should be 1.25 hours in length. Proposals
must be postmarked by June 30, 2008 to be considered
for presentation. Evaluation of proposals will be
based on current best practice standards such as
those supported by NAA. Presenters will be notified
by July 15th concerning the acceptance of their
proposal. If you have any questions regarding this
conference or the request for proposal form, contact
Jan Stange at (605)692-8066 or at
gapost@brookings.net
We look forward to receiving a proposal from
you! |
