We will gather on Monday, May eighth, at Fay School. Our topic will be Sharing our Strengths: Programs that Work. We will hear presentations from our colleagues about effective program design, innovative methods of service delivery, and unique characteristics of individual programs. The format for the day will be a departure from our usual meetings in that we will meet in small groups for forty-five minute periods.

The date of our spring meeting also coincides with Fay’s annual Research Into Practice (RIP) conference. This year’s focus will be counseling models in independent schools. The organizers of RIP have agreed to allow cross-registration between the conferences. More information about the RIP conference will appear on this site in the near future.
