GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
IFAPA hosts our annual membership meeting during the Spring Conference.  The IFAPA General Membership Meeting will be held during the Saturday luncheon.  The purpose of the general membership meeting is to provide information to foster and adoptive parents about IFAPA’s programs.  It is important for foster, adoptive and kinship families to know what IFAPA does for its members.

CHILD CARE
Child care will not be available at the conference.  Children are not allowed in our trainings in order to provide the most beneficial learning experience for attendees.
