It’s almost here, CALCASA’s 2010 Statewide Pre-Conference and the 2010 National Sexual Assault Conference (NSAC) in Hollywood, beginning Aug. 30 through Sep. 3. As we work on the final details of both conferences, we are excited to report that CALCASA was able to support CA Rape Crisis Center Staff in attending both conferences by providing about 120 scholarships!

Scholarship were made available to current 2010 CALCASA Member Rape Crisis Centers, and CalEMA grant recipients, to help support their participation at both conferences this year. Scholarships will cover participant’s travel costs as well as limited, discounted registration fees. All scholarships are on a reimbursement basis and about 55 CA Rape Crisis Centers accessed scholarships for staff to attend.

We are excited to have CA Rape Crisis Center Staff attend both conferences and hope that these events will provide opportunities to learn, network and simply have a great time meeting new people. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
