Brazos Valley

Crime Victims Rights Week



Brazos County Victim Services would like to invite you to submit a workshop proposal to present at our conference. The conference will be in Bryan/College Station, Texas, April 16th – 17th at A&M Church of Christ.

 

The two-day conference will provide law enforcement, prosecutors, medical staff and mental health professionals an opportunity to learn valuable information about victim issues. The goal of the conference is to address the wide scope of crimes against all victims and help positively influence professionals who work with victims on a daily basis.

 

The deadline for complete workshop proposals is FEBRUARY 1, 2008. Incomplete workshop proposals will not be considered during the selection process. Brazos County Victim Services will notify selected speakers of the date and time of their workshop(s), if their proposal is selected.

 

Brazos County Victim Services is aware that some organizations do not have adequate travel funds for speakers. We have a very limited budget and would like to assist those who need it most. In accordance with the State of Texas policy, we will not pay any speaker fees until after the conference has concluded and attendance has been verified. There will be only one reimbursement per workshop.

 

If your workshop is selected and you also want to attend the conference, please complete a registration form which is accessible at www.rapecrisisbv.org by April 1, 2008.  Please contact us with any questions or comments.

 

Sincerely,
