Dear Colleague:

As you may know, the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement's (OCSE) Seventh National Child Support Enforcement Conference will be held September 15-17, 1997, at the Radisson Plaza Hotel at Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia.

The theme for this year's conference is: Child Support's New Era:

Our conference was designed for State and Federal IV-D professionals, with an emphasis on welfare reform changes, leadership training for CSE administrators, training for trainers and CSE attorneys, while continuing our focus on cross-program collaboration with our new and existing partners.

Enclosed is a tentative agenda and Participant Registration Form. Please inform the appropriate staff about the opportunity as soon as possible. The registration deadline is August 15, 1997. I am happy to announce that this year, there will be no registration fee.

On the enclosed agenda, we have identified the general focus of each workshop with the following markers: <PROGRAM> <TRAINING>
