ANNUAL FALL CONFERENCE

 November 15 & 16, 2018
Red Lion Hotel Cromwell

100 Berlin Road, Cromwell, CT

 BETTER TOGETHER!

STEERING CT TOWARD A HEALTHIER FUTURE

When you ride a bike…you can explore a woodland trail, take someone for a ride, race against others, feel the joy of movement with your feet stuck out to the side and wind on your face…

When you ride a bicycle made for two, or three or four…it becomes a shared experience made richer for the company. The contributions made by the shared-riders may be very different.

We do not have to be the same in the way we pedal, or how we interpret our experience, but we do all need to be valued for what we bring to the ride. This year’s conference is about the shared ride – and how we can recognize and use one another’s unique talents and perspectives and work together to make great things happen.

If possible, embrace this theme in your proposal!
