<span style="font-size:13px"><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:14px">Good Morning,<br>
<br>
On behalf of the National Council on Rehabilitation Education (NCRE) I am excited to invite you to the 16th Annual National Rehabilitation Educators Conference in Newport Beach, CA, to be held on April 20-22, 2016.<br>
<br>
Our 2016 conference is an opportunity for rehabilitation counselor educators, practitioners, researchers, trainers, students and HRD personnel to submit proposals that address state of the art practices and future directions in rehabilitation counselor education and research. Both empirically based (qualitative and quantitative) and conceptually oriented proposals are invited. <br>
<br>
The conference theme <strong><em>“</em>Redefining Our Identity: New Challenges, New Perspectives, A Bright Future for Rehabilitation Counselor Education.”</strong> encourages proposals focusing on current issues in counselor education, practice, and research with an emphasis on how can we take rehabilitation counselor education to that next level. As you prepare your proposal ask yourself <strong><em>“</em>How my project keeps rehabilitation counseling and education relevant?” </strong></span></span></span></span><br>
<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:georgia,times,times new roman,serif"><span style="color:#000000"> <br>

<br>
<strong>Dr. William “Bill” Downey Scientific Poster Presentation Award Fund</strong><br>
Dr. Bill Downey was a Professor in the Rehabilitation Counseling in the Department of Disability and Psychoeducational Studies at The University of Arizona – the very same department where he completed his PhD in 1979. Bill dedicated his life to the field of rehabilitation counseling and provided his expertise and passion in various capacities for over 35 years.<br>
<br>
Inspired by his commitment to recognize research by students, NCRE established the Dr. William “Bill” Downey Scientific Poster Presentation Award to annually support students to attend the NCRE training conference to interact with rehabilitation educators and professionals.<br>
<br>
The Lead Review Team will select the top <strong><u>3 Scientific Poster Proposals</u></strong> submitted by a Student Member of NCRE to be considered for the Award. More details on eligibility, requirements, selection process, and the awards can be found in the NCRE Spring 2016 CFP POSTER PROPOSAL document.<br>
