WELCOME WELCOME TO DENVER! FROM THE CONFERENCE On behalf of the 2018 Annual Conference Program Planning Committee, we’re thrilled to PLANNING welcome you to Denver! We have been hard at work all year and are excited about the program we’ve put together. We want to offer special recognition of AASECT’s Colorado TEAM! members, many of whom have generously offered their time and expertise throughout the planning process. With their help, we’ve been able to develop a more comprehensive conference experience! Jayleen Galarza, PhD, LCSW, MEd, CST The conference planning committee was purposeful to not only provide an engaging Conference Co-chair learning experience but an inclusive one as well. Along with the spectacular lineup of pre- cons, workshops, plenaries, and social events, we want to highlight some new features: Comfort room—looking for a place to unwind, decompress, and process what Juan Camarena, PhD, LMFT, LPCC, CST you’ve learned? The Colorado room will be available for just that. With the plethora Conference Co-chair of cutting-edge programming, we hope you’ll take advantage of this space as a getaway between sessions. Professional conduct guidelines—in an effort to encourage attendees to respect and maintain good boundaries with other conference attendees, the Lexx Brown-James, PhD, LMFT, CSE conference planning committee collaborated with the Board of Directors to establish professional conduct guidelines. You can find these guidelines in subsequent pages of the program. It is our hope that you will take these recommendations seriously in an effort to contribute to a more safe learning, growing, and networking experience for all. Tanya Bass, MS, CHES Beyond the Hashtag—the planning committee has developed a workshop that aligns with the conference theme and is designed to explore some of the controversial issues within our own profession—sexual harassment, coercion, and boundary violations. Please join us on Saturday afternoon to engage in conversation with AASECT leadership and help the organization progress in addressing these concerns. Neil Cannon, PhD, LMFT, CST, CSTS Not only is the program filled with opportunities to network, learn, and engage, but the conference location also has so much to offer! Our beloved Colorado members created something special for this year’s conference—a local guide to all things important to your Denver experience: food, entertainment, travel, etc. If you haven’t done so already, take a moment to explore this list and venture out into the local community and enjoy all Prem K. Pahwa, LCSW, CST that Denver has to offer. Again, welcome to the 2018 AASECT conference; we’re excited to have you with us! Whether it was the conference theme, plenary sessions, workshops, social events, or location that drew you here, we appreciate your decision to join your colleagues in order Sally Valentine, PhD, FAACS, LCSW, CST, CSTS to connect, move beyond contention, and shed light on the taboos and pleasures of sexuality. And, if you see us roaming around the conference, please feel free to say hello and share your experience!
