1. Summarize feedback from Fall Mini-conference in terms of "lessons learned" for Annual Conference Planning

Feedback:

• Limit time to people who monopolize time
• IPI: need more involvement from the panel, less from main speaker

2.  UMHCA annual conference Planning

Location:  Not Argosy nor U of P.  U of U or WC?  Costs?

• Westminster will be Fall conference
• UofU will be Annual Conference

Dates:  April or May?

March 22-23, but checking on UofU availability with Uma (Ellen will check)

Theme?:  ACA and AMHCA don't use themes

• Want to do a theme-less conference or focusing on "clinical practice."
  
• Paul suggested we do a separate conference on Emotion-focused Therapy (EFT) or emotionally-focused couples therapy. Paul has a connection for guest speakers. Possibly a pre-conference? It is a two-day presentation. We would be sharing some of the revenue with NASW if we went this direction. Ellen asked for a cost estimate. Possibly in May and promoting it at the annual conference.
