The 2012 Annual Conference of the National Council on Family Relations opened October 31 in Phoenix, Arizona, running through Saturday, November 3.

NCFR staff members have been working closely with plenary speakers, other presenters and section leaders to ensure that we maintain a strong conference schedule. We're in the process of updating the online conference schedule to show any changes that we've had to make; if you've built your conference schedule online, any changes to your chosen sessions or meetings will appear automatically when you view your personal conference schedule.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the conference. Our thoughts are with our members and friends affected by Hurricane Sandy.
