The Conference Planning and Marketing Department implements the many national conferences the National Council conducts annually. This department handles the logistical arrangements that are necessary to support a small or large scale conference, committee meeting or seminar. The annual conferences, often referred to as the core training conferences, are implemented in cooperation with one or all of the more substantive departments of the National Council including the Juvenile Family Law Department, the Family Violence Department and the Permanency Planning for Children Department. These departments focus on the educational components of the conferences.

This past year, the department has been expanded to encompass the marketing functions for the organization, and efforts are underway to bring about a broader public awareness. Through the use of direct mailers, e-marketing tools, advertisements and the organization’s web site, we hope to educate the public on NCJFCJ’s mission to improve the lives of children and families.

The Conference Planning and Marketing Department staff consists of:

Cara Cunningham - Registrar/Exhibits Coordinator
Kirsten Johnson - Planning Specialist
Deanna Lyons - Planning Specialist
Danny Nguyen - Marketing Coordinator
Diane Barnette - Director of Conference Planning and Marketing
