2023 Event Overview
The ISM Conference & Expo is the largest educational event produced by APHSA. It attracts individuals in federal, state, and local government at all levels [Executive Offices (e.g., CEO, CTO, CDO, CIO, etc.); Program and Project Directors and Managers (e.g., SNAP, TANF, Child Care, Child Support, Medicaid, etc.); academia, research, and community-based organizations executives, and consultants who are aligned with the health and human services sector]; along with private sector sponsors, many of whom are members of the Human Services IT Advisory Group (HSITAG – hiss-a-tag) who present their solutions in the Expo Hall.
This year, with the addition of PHSA members [General Counsel, Attorneys in specialized areas like Child Welfare, Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, Mental Health, American Bar members, private attorneys practicing areas related to human services, etc.], this event will bring both the legal voice to our conversations in sessions as well as the ability to attract additional agency staff who work in legal and technical support of their organizations.
ISM Fellowships Now Available!
Submission Deadline: Thursday, June 22
The ISM Fellowship application is now open for the state, county, and municipal government human services agencies to apply for travel assistance to attend the ISM + PHSA Conference & Expo. These fellowships are intended for agencies that have very limited travel budgets.
Priority is given to states, counties, and municipal human services agencies that are dues-paying members of APHSA for the CIO, CTO, and other programmatic directors to attend the conference.
Fellowship awards can cover registration and up to three (3) hotel nights at the conference hotel. There is a $500 stipend available to assist with airfare and/or train tickets, should an agency need that additional assistance.
Note: Not all applicants can receive a fellowship, so agencies are encouraged to coordinate their applications. This allows APHSA to accommodate as many fellowships as possible with our budget.
Submit by Thursday, June 22
CLE Units Available in 2023
The conference will offer Continuing Legal Education (CLE) units. APHSA will certify the sessions for CLE units with the Florida State Bar Association and provide an electronic attendance certificate to all attending. We are exploring other continuing education units (i.e., PMP) that would benefit attendees.
