Seeking Workshop Presenters for the 2020 TCF National Conference in Atlanta
Posted on December 17th, 2019
The Compassionate Friends is currently seeking workshop presenters for the 43rd TCF National Conference that is being held July 24-26, 2020 in Atlanta, GA.
We are looking for workshop proposals on a variety of topics for the bereaved parents, siblings, grandparents and others who attend the national conference, from newly bereaved to those further along in their grief journeys. The workshops presented at each national conference are one of the biggest reasons that our attendees return year after year.
Whether it is the first time you have submitted a workshop proposal, or you have done so in previous years, each proposal is given careful attention. The thought you put into yours is greatly appreciated, and we sincerely thank you for your time spent.
Form to submit your workshop proposal: https://www.compassionatefriends.org/workshop-presenter-form/
The deadline to submit your workshop proposal is January 15, 2020.
Cathy’s 15-year-old daughter, Nina Westmoreland, was killed by an alcohol-impaired driver on Cathy’s birthday while her family was vacationing in FL in May of 1995. In 2012, her police officer stepson Chris took his own life. She has been very involved as a volunteer in TCF, first as newsletter editor and then chapter leader for the St. Paul Chapter. She served for six years on the TCF National Board of Directors, and is Minnesota Regional Coordinator. Cathy was the Conference Chair for the TCF national conferences in 2011 in Minneapolis, MN, and in 2018 in St. Louis, MO.. She is very honored to have received the TCF Recognition Award from the National Board of Directors in 2015.
Cathy has been published in Chicken Soup for the Christian Family Soul, and as a contributing writer to The Tincture of Time, Open to Hope: Inspirational Stories of Healing After Loss, the TCF national magazine, We Need Not Walk Alone, and other grief publications and newsletters. Cathy is married, has three surviving children and five grandchildren; all of whom are the loves of her life.
Hi Cathy, I don’t know if I am still on your email list, but I did not receive a notification that you are looking for workshop presenters till I came across this by accident. I will send in a submission for the 2020 Conference. Warmly, Christine Duminiak
