About the Meetings

What to expect: Session selections for the SORH Regional Partnership Meetings are made by recommendation of the planning committee, comprised of SORH in the region and FORHP. As the dates of the meeting vary, selections are made at various times. If your proposal is accepted, you will be notified at least 3 months in advance of the meeting. It is your responsibility to ensure your registration, hotel reservation, and forms are completed 4 weeks in advance of the meeting.  It takes considerable time to coordinate all details to produce a successful meeting and your cooperation is appreciated.
