Riverside Symposium

The Riverside Symposium is an annual conference offered by the NCORTC in partnership with the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services. The conference primarily targets agency foster parents, staff, community partners and select birth parents for a day of goal-directed forum discussions with skilled facilitators. Begun in 2003, the Riverside Symposium provides an on-going opportunity for dialogue on various subjects related to improving outcomes for our vulnerable children and to allow participants to engage in networking.

Supervisory Conference

In 2009, NCORTC is offering its second annual Supervisory Conference. The conference was planned with the role of supervisors and managers as organizational leaders in mind. The workshops developed directly resulted from ideas and feedback received at last year's conference.

This year's theme, "Transferring Your Team's Learning to Practice," provided support and professional learning experiences with colleagues, away from staff, and tools to help enhance skill-building with individual staff and assure knowledge transfer to improve their performance. The conference took place March 18-19, 2009, in Beachwood, Ohio.
