Convention Report

Connie Cisneros, Tropical Texas Behavioral Health
AAIDD Texas Chapter Convention Committee Chair

Guess who is turning 40?   AAIDD Texas Chapter will be having its 40th annual convention in sunny Corpus Christi on July 28th through the 31st.  The convention will be held at the Omni Hotel located right off the waters of the gulf.  Our Planning  committee is preparing for a convention that will provide information and resources to support persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their families, advocates, direct support staff and other professionals working in the IDD field.

 

The Call for Papers has been released I ask for your support by submitting presentations and/or recommending to your colleagues and friends to share their research, best practices, and expertise in the IDD field by submitting presentations for our convention.  I would also ask that you support the convention by being a sponsor.  Contact members of our Exhibitors/Sponsors sub-committee or any member of the Planning Committee to learn more about our sponsorship levels.
