2017 Conference Changes:
- The program will no longer be available in print format. The program schedule will be available on the Conference Mobile APP which includes enhancements to the 2016 Conference Mobil APP. It will also be available as a web-based format with search features, and as a PDF on the SPR website. We bring this to your attention so that you can plan accordingly prior to arriving at the conference.
- Please note that the conference registration rates only partially cover the costs of operating the conference. For the past 16 years we have been very fortunate to receive a NIH R13 conference grant which has provided significant financial support for the conference. Comments in the new R13 proposal Summary Statement suggested that SPR “develop a plan for self-sustaining their operations” so that the “conferences might be able to stand on their own.” In order to offer a self-sustaining conference in the future, our options are to quadruple the conference registration rates, or reduce conference costs. To that end, the SPR Board accepted a recommendation from the Finance Committee to eliminate food for the continental breakfasts and for the afternoon conference breaks. Food will continue to be served at all conference receptions. In addition, beverages will continue to be served at all morning and afternoon breaks. We bring this to your attention so that you can make meal plans accordingly.
- Please note that the award winning Mothers of Prevention have agreed to perform for the 2017 conference coming out of a short retirement. As a reminder to all members, the ticket price goes to defray expenses and the remainder is targeted for the (minority travel award) fund. SPR President, Rico Catalano, and president elect Leslie Leve, would like to encourage every member to buy a ticket and come to the dance. If the hours or music aren’t to your liking, he would like to encourage you to buy a ticket anyway as a contribution to the SPR minority scholarship fund.
