At The Table... Together
We're better people when we're At The Table... Together. Why is that? Because being at the table together creates the best environment for connection to take root, grow, and flourish. During this keynote, Ginger will illustrate how to think about our connections with each other in this community. She will share myriad ideas, insights, and practices to apply right away—for self, team, and community. And it all starts At The Table... Together. Come ready to listen, learn, and step up to take your seat at the table during ISM.

The Face of Human Trafficking 2022
Human Trafficking of children and youth today is impacting and affecting communities in the US and worldwide. These cases occur in every US state and impact a diverse range of populations, including people of all races, socioeconomic backgrounds, and sexual orientations and identities. The under and over-identification of specific populations must be understood and addressed, ensuring every child is afforded the protections and services from this horrific crime. As agencies, including law enforcement, child welfare, medical, education, and non-profits as well as research and technology collaborate, we continue to develop a better understanding of the complex nature of human trafficking, and our response to and handling of these cases continues to be modified to ensure better outcomes for those who have been victimized or are at risk of victimization. It is essential to recognize that minors involved with human trafficking are victims and, in accordance with the federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), must be treated as such.

Our Commitment to Meeting Safely
APHSA takes the safety and well-being of our attendees seriously as we continue to plan in-person events for 2022. All attendees must provide proof of full vaccination to attend any in-person event through our secure portal. If an attendee is not vaccinated, proof of a negative COVID-19 test (home tests are not accepted) is taken within 48-72 hours before arriving to attend an APHSA event. APHSA will provide a secure upload portal for attendees to provide their information. Each attendee will be required to present either their vaccination card or, if they are not vaccinated, proof of a negative COVID-19 test administered by a pharmacy/lab showing the date and time administered, their name, and results at the time of check-in at registration. The accepted test type for a COVID-19 test for travel is the PCT/NAAT, administered by local pharmacies and/or labs. Results are typically returned to individuals electronically within 1-2 days showing the date, time, individual’s name, and test results. No home tests will be accepted as proof of negative tests.
