SAMHSA State and tribal Youth Suicide Prevention Grantee Technical Assistance Meeting

December 10-12, 2007 Portland, OR

AGENDA

Registration:
Registration is CLOSED

Who Should Attend
Cohort 2 and 3 grantees (grantees who received their funding in 2006 or 2007) are required to send three to five representatives to the meeting, including the Project Director. SAMHSA also recommends that you also send your evaluator and the person who manages program implementation. If you have questions, please talk to your GPO.

Although Cohort 1 grantees are not required to attend because they have already met grant requirements by attending the last two annual meetings, SAMHSA cordially invites and encourages Cohort 1 to join us, learn with us, and pass on your “lessons learned” to more recent grant recipients. 

Special Accommodations:
Please be certain to let us know online through the registration page if you require physical accommodations or have special dietary needs.

Lodging:
All hotel reservations will be made by SAMHSA through Educational Services, Inc. (ESI). Please indicate your sleeping room preferences when registering. A conference rooming block has been arranged at a conference rate of $106, plus tax, per night (which is the Government per diem rate) at the Marriott Portland Downtown Waterfront. The ESI logistics team will send you a hotel confirmation number after registration approximately 1 to 2 weeks prior to the meeting date. Please do not call the hotel to book your own room; your sleeping room needs will be addressed online. Please note that you will be asked to provide a credit card online when you register, but will not be billed until your arrival. If you need to cancel, please let Tara Haag (tarah@esi-dc.com) know at least 72 hours prior to the meeting. Otherwise the hotel will charge your credit card for one night’s stay.
