Birds-of-a-Feather Roundtable Sessions
Sunday, January 24
1:30 to 3:30 pm
One of the most important functions of an annual conference
as reported by past PDHCA conference attendees is the time
spent talking with and learning from peers. To allow better
access and based on specific requests, the popular Birds-of-a-Feather
Roundtable sessions are being offered in this prime time
slot on Sunday afternoon prior to the conference exhibit
opening and the opening general session.
This face-to-face roundtable format is a fabulous opportunity
to get expert input, meet with peers, and discuss important
issues for growing and improving private duty businesses.
Active participants set the pace and ask the questions. Specially
selected expert leaders facilitate access to each other,
one on one, and offer their expertise in an hour of in-depth
information exchange on some of the most timely and important
issues for private duty/private pay businesses.
