Chapin Hall has presented at statewide
leadership summits hosted by IDCFS, at a regional child welfare multidisciplinary symposium in Kankakee, IL, and at a brown - bag series hosted by Northern Illinois University.
Since 2000, the AACTE Committee on Innovation and Technology has
hosted an annual
leadership summit for the presidents of a dozen teacher educator associations and editors of educational technology journals, who together comprise the National Technology
Leadership Coalition.
One example is its County Fatherhood Initiative, which offers resources to county
leadership in the state, such as training for conducting needs and asset assessments, planning for fatherhood
summits, assistance for implementing community action plans, and grant money to begin or continue fatherhood programs in the community.25 Additionally, the OCF provides funding for organizations to
host father - child events during Responsible Fatherhood Month in June, and
hosts an annual Fatherhood Summit each year to more than 300 fatherhood and family - service practitioners, county and state agency staff, and community members.26
