President’s Pen – KTPC website

Winter is beginning to fade away. This morning’s snow flurries may be the last until next winter. Crocuses and daffodils are blooming here in Lexington.

KTPC is preparing for our major spring event – the annual Teen Pregnancy Prevention Summit, co-sponsored by the Kentucky Teen Pregnancy Coalition and the Kentucky Department for Public Health.

This year the Summit will be held on April 18-19, 2013, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Louisville. We hope you will join us at this wonderful conference (if I do say so myself!).

Keynoter Tom Collins will address the Spectrum of HPV Disease, and Keynoter Al Vernacchio will discuss Engaging Parents in Their Children’s Healthy Sexual Development. There will be sessions on synthetic drugs, using strategies to take advantage of multiple intelligences, the social justice of sexuality education, responding to dating violence, and safe sex for men.

Click on the link in the upper right hand corner of our home page for further information and the registration form. Your registration fee includes a one-year membership in KTPC. Registration deadline is April 11, 2013.

I hope to see you there!

Betsy Neale – KTPC President
