AFPAG President’s Welcome Message

Greetings AFPAG Board Members and Esteemed Conference Delegates:

Dr. S. Duvall - AFPAG President

It is a privilege to serve on the AFPAG Board of Directors, and even a greater honor to service the AFPAG Board of Directors of Directors, and even greater honor to assume the role of President, as responsibility I approach with utmost seriousness. Our Board, including the conference committee, has worked diligently to ensure this year’s conference offers an informative and enriching experience for all attendees. Under the leadership of our conference Chair, Mrs. Eunice Daniels, the teams have assembled a distinguished group of facilitators recognized as leaders in their respective fields. These presenters are dedicated to advancing our knowledge and supporting all foster and adoptive parents in their ongoing development.

The conference will feature keynote speakers and vendors who bring valuable expertise and resources. We extend our sincere appreciation to our sponsor, whose continued support has made this event possible.

As I begin my tenure, my commitment is to strengthen AFPAG's influence and impact by fostering partnership with agencies, expanding training opportunities, and ensuring that foster and adoptive parents across Georgia receive the support necessary to thrive. Together, we will build upon AFPAG's legacy and create new avenues for success for children and families.

Welcome to the 54th Annual Education Conference at Jekyll Island, Georgia. I invite you to visit the Presidents table, and I encourage everyone to enjoy the conference in a spirit of safety and respect.

- Dr. S. Duvall
