The 48th Annual PSRFA Conference is set for September 26-27, 2024, at the Red Lion Hotel, Harrisburg, Pa. This year’s theme is 50 Years of Families Helping Families.

The conference will start with a luncheon on Thursday, September 26th. Our keynote speaker this year will be Derek Clark. Derek is an inspiring motivational speaker and the author of Never Limit Your Life and the critically acclaimed, I Will Never Give Up book series. Derek Clark spent 13 years of his life in the Alameda County foster care system and now shares his inspiring story of resilience and redemption throughout the world. Derek Clark knows first-hand the power of attitude in coping with adversity and overcoming hardship.

The conference registration fee includes 10 hours of training, refreshments at breaks, four meals, and networking with other resource families throughout Pennsylvania.

Thursday night’s dinner will be an opportunity for all to sit back and relax and join us for the Annual Silent Auction to benefit the PSRFA Scholarship Fund. Proceeds from the auction are the major sources of funds that PSRFA uses to provide scholarships to graduating seniors who are foster, adoptive, or biological children of foster parents.

To accommodate the changing needs of the families we will be closing the conference after the closing session. There will not be a Friday evening dinner.

We know that you will enjoy the conference and we are looking forward to seeing all of you there.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Ramper, Executive Director
