Application to Host Summit 2022
The Summit Navigators are calling for applications to 7th and 8th Annual Summit on Vocational Rehabilitation Program Evaluation. State Vocational Rehabilitation Programs, TACE Centers, colleges and universities and research institutions are eligible to apply. Organizations that apply will need to submit their applications via email to Scott Sabella at scott.sabella@unco.edu .
Requirements of Hosting Organization
1. The hosting group will work to fulfill the following mission statement of the Summit.
“The Summit on Vocational Rehabilitation Program Evaluation is an event whose purpose is to provide educational experiences based on the expertise of knowledgeable professionals, encourage collaborative conversations and inspire all to move towards excellence in program performance as a means of providing quality services to people with disabilities.”
2. The hosting group with those that they are partnering will agree to the following. They will cover the costs for the conference rooms needed for presentations, rental of audiovisual equipment and if needed the cost of bringing in speakers. Since the beginning of the Summit there have been other sponsors that have annually contributed to offset some of these costs and we anticipate that they will continue to assist in these areas in the future. The Summit has been a two day event and has been held on a Tuesday and Wednesday which permits Monday to be the day of travel. Options for a Wednesday/Thursday Summit would also be considered. Each year it has been held in September to avoid conflict with other national conferences, but if there is a potential host that would propose a spring or winter option due to climate we would also consider these possibilities. Attendees will be responsible for the cost of travel to and from the conference, lodging, ground transportation and per diem. A registration fee has not been assessed before for the Summit, but this is something that can be discussed by each individual Summit Planning Committee.
3. The hosting group will establish at least nine months before the event a Summit Planning Committee which will include several Summit Group members.
4. The Summit application will consist of a one page response to these questions.
Any questions regarding this application can be directed to Scott Sabella at sasabell@buffalo.edu or 716-645-1123.
