2009 Annual Conference - Friday April 24, 2009
Theme: Bridging the Gap: Driving Research to Practice
Mark your Calendar for 2010 Annual Conference - Friday April 30, 2010
The 2009 Annual Conference brought together over 200 persons from across the State to bring better understanding of the benefits of research to the practice community and to increase understanding of practice issues to inform the research community. Practitioners are incorporating evidence-based programs in their service delivery models, and are being strongly encouraged or required to do so by funders.
In today's financial environment, all organizations have a responsibility to be fiscally and professionally responsible in using scarce resources for the best outcomes. More effective services, grounded in scientific research, result from rigorously tested, evidence-based methods.
The Keynote speaker was Susan Hughes, DSW, Professor, School of Public Health and Co-Director, Center for Research on Health and Aging, University of Illinois at Chicago. Twelve sessions in four tracks were held: Consumer Choice; Health Promotion and Disease Management; Emerging Models in Community and Housing; and Professional Skill Building
