It’s hot. No doubt about it. But six months from now it is likely to be very cold for most of us, at least in the northern hemisphere, and we are going to be looking for someplace to go to get warm. We could go to Rio or Sydney. However, my personal preference is Cape Town or Perth, but that’s another story.
You might want to consider “killing two birds with one stone”. We can give ourselves a treat and not have to go nearly as far, and maybe give ourselves a tax write-off. The 2012 Hawaii Gifted Conference is being held on January 9th.
Christine Ohtani-Chang tells me “the all day conference on January 9th, 2012 begins at 8:00 am registration and ends 4:30 pm. The conference is held at the IMIN Conference Center /East West Center at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. Principle speaker of the program is Frances A. Karnes, Ph.D., who heads The Frances A. Karnes Center for Gifted Studies at the University of Southern Mississippi.”
The conference will focus on Dr. Karnes’ research and advocacy for the gifted and talented. Panel discussions will include professionals in the field, parents and student participation. Breakout sessions will include various topics related to the gifted and how to best serve this population not only in Hawaii but also its affiliates. Conference will include scholarship presentation and GT acknowledgements and awards. Concurrent venues will be exhibiting creative talents in the arts.
Registration is required to attend. Optional CEU/CLE credits offered to attendees. Overnight lodging accommodations are available on the University campus at Lincoln Hall for the conference upon registration.
