From the President & CEO
Dear Colleague:
For leaders and learners passionate about improving behavioral health, the National Council’s Annual Conference is the most powerful event of the year. This uniquely energizing conference draws approximately 2,000 participants from around the country and the world.
In celebration of our 40th Annual Conference — and in the midst of economic difficulties and social uncertainties — we are offering unparalleled opportunities to reignite your energy by learning and teaching among talented and optimistic colleagues who share your vision and passion. You learn how your organization can step up the pace in implementing real-world solutions that improve consumer outcomes, population health, and costs.
We have come a long way since our community came together in 1970 for the 1st Annual Conference. In this, our 40th year, we take some time to reflect on the road we’ve traveled and to celebrate our successes. And then, we’ll turn our eyes to the future and dare to aim far higher. We are by no means done.
I encourage you to take full advantage of your conference time — books, movies, workshops, and institutes offer ideas that are infectious and results that are exciting and inspiring. We’re thrilled with our keynote speakers and thought leaders and we have a great deal to learn from each of them. But the real “stars” of the event are people like you — participants who bring and generously share their experiences, successes, failures, enthusiasm, and hope with the rest of us. I am confident that you’ll leave with a wealth of new ideas and connections.
Enjoy the conference and enjoy the magic of Disney! And then tell me how we did — we look forward to your feedback and your suggestions for the 41st National Council Conference, San Diego, CA, May 2–4, 2011.
Linda Rosenberg, MSW
President and CEO
National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare
