Planned Parenthood professionals are at the forefront of a worldwide movement to create an equitable and humane society within a viable and sustainable community.

At a time when comprehensive sexuality education is under attack, abortion rights are being threatened and many educators and trainers feel isolated or even besieged, we look forward to this opportunity to exchange ideas, disseminate best practices, develop new skills, explore emerging topics and create support systems to unite us in our common cause. We are thrilled to invite you to join us at APPLE’s 2008 National Conference for Educators and Trainers.

Drawing Water from a Deeper Well is a training opportunity for Educators, Trainers, Directors and Managers. The conference will take place on the beautiful campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. This unique training opportunity features six themes that will provide the opportunity for in-depth learning in a specific area. Participants can fully immerse in a theme, or choose from among all concurrent workshops to meet their specific learning goals.
