Agenda

SPECIAL EVENT: This year, we are offering a special evening screening of the opioid-crisis drama What We Hide with film maker and screen writer, Dan Kay. This will take place in the ball room of the Erickson Alumni Center on Monday evening of the conference at 6:30 PM. Following the film, Trey Kay (West Virginia Public Broadcasting) will be hosting a discussion with Dan Kay. The film screening is free, but you will need to reserve a ticket through our registration portal, as space is limited.

After their mother suffers a fatal overdose, two sisters fear that the foster system will separate them and decide to hide the body. But their lie may be discovered and they must decide how far they are willing to go to keep their secret.
