It is our goal to have representation from all of Williamson County ISDs and this year we are targeting ISD Administration, Principals/Assistant Principals, Directors of Guidance/Lead Counselors, ISD SROs, and School Board Members serving youth and families in Williamson County. You will be sent a follow-up email within a week informing you of your status as confirmed or waitlisted. Once you receive a confirmation email MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL MEETING LINK. Your meeting link will only work for one person and one device.
We understand that staffing changes tend to be fluid. If you feel a friend or colleague would be interested in attending this conference you are free to share this email or direct them to our conference website located at www.healthywilliamsoncounty.org/mhisconference. Williamson County Community members and anyone serving the families of Williamson County are welcome to register.
CEU credits will be offered.
