The NRC4Tribes, in collaboration with the federal Children’s Bureau, will hold two Pathways to Tribal Title IV-E meetings designed specifically for tribes who are actively planning to develop Title IV-E foster care services through direct access. These working meetings will offer practical, hands-on information about day-to-day operations of a Title IV-E funded child welfare program. Presenters and facilitators will include federal Children’s Bureau staff along with National Resource Centers staff and consultants, including tribal peer trainers who have experience with Title IV-E programs.

The second and last Pathways to Tribal Title IV-E meeting will be held in Albuquerque at the Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town. A special conference rate of $81.00 per night has been arranged for anyone who wishes to attend this training(please note that those selected for a team scholarship will not need to make their hotel reservations directly). The deadline for hotel reservations at the special rate is Monday, April 23, 2012. The Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town is located just 7 miles from Albuquerque International Airport.
