Dear fellow ADRPers,

What excites me the most about ADRP is the pool of professionals to connect with and learn from. And, what is the best opportunity during the year to do so? The Annual ADRP International Conference!

In 2020, ADRP had to transition its in-person conference to virtual due to the pandemic. Kudos to 2020 Conference Chair, Noel Schiber and the amazing volunteers who pulled off our first virtual conference. Here we are, finding ourselves in the same position once again, and I know that Noel, Co-Chair Ryan Steele and the Conference Committee, have been working hard to provide a phenomenal experience for our members and supporters. I am counting the days until we meet and look forward to learning alongside you.

With gratitude for the leadership and dedication poured into this year’s Conference, I happily turn this issue of The Hub over to Conference Marketing Co-Chairs Alyson Bell and Nancy Masterson-Newkirk as they share a glimpse of what is yet to come.

A Message From the ADRP 2021 Conference Marketing Co-Chairs

Hello ADRPers,

We are so excited for the upcoming ADRP 2021 International Conference, Big World, Big Ideas, taking place September 22–24. Thank you to everyone who has already registered!

We have a great program for you this year, including Keynote Presentations by Desiree Adaway, Tyler Riewer, and Vu Le.

We also want to highlight some special aspects of this year’s conference

  1. The Unlimited Group Registration rate is still available! New this year, the Unlimited Group Registration rate allows institutions to pay a flat rate to bring an unlimited number of attendees.
  2. We are partnering with Partners in Health, a global health and social justice organization dedicated to providing lifesaving care and increasing access to food, transportation, housing, and—most importantly—health care. Learn more about ways you can support Partners in Health at ADRP 2021 Service Project
  3. The Mentorship Program is open to seasoned professionals and to newcomers in the field.

We look forward to seeing you virtually in September!
