27th Annual BISC-MI Conference
Dates: November 7, 8, 9, 2023
The Complexity of Change:
Inspiring Transformational Change in Our Participants, Programs, Selves, and Communities
AT THE KENSINGTON HOTEL – Ann Arbor, Michigan!
Conference description: Battering Intervention Programs (BIPs) cannot focus solely on fostering change in our program participants. To be effective we also need to take part in programming and community work that encourages change processes in ourselves, our programs, and within our communities. This conference will provide conference participants with opportunities to engage in discussions about how to facilitate inspirational transformations at multiple levels.
Cost: The fee for attending this conference in-person versus virtually is the same because those attending in-person will have meals and snacks or dessert provided at evening networking events, and those attending virtually will be paying for the additional technological fees associated with making this conference possible to attend virtually.
Membership Fee Reduction: There is a reduced fee for in-person or virtual attendees who are BISC-MI members. For more information about membership, go to: https://www.biscmi.org/about/get-membership/
