Strive to Thrive

Registration is now officially open for the 2025 RCPA Conference Strive to Thrive! The conference offers inspiring keynotes and plenaries, over sixty workshops, live updates from both state and national partners, and the ability to interact with exhibitors and sponsors in our Connections Hall! View our Registration Brochure for complete details of the conference schedule and speakers. You can also register directly here.

We are grateful to all of our sponsors who help make the conference happen. Be sure to check the RCPA Conference website regularly for details and updates to the schedule, registration, and sponsors/exhibitors. Our mobile app, which we are proud to share is once again being sponsored by Millin, will become available closer to the time of conference and will contain CE information, a detailed agenda, and more!

In addition to registration, there are still many opportunities available for sponsorship and exhibit booths, so don’t delay! Opportunities still available include but are not limited to our Hospitality Suite, our Awards Luncheon, entertainment, and meal sponsorships. If your organization is interested in sponsoring or exhibiting at our conference, all information is available in our Sponsor, Exhibit, and Advertise Brochure. You can contact Carol Ferenz, Conference Coordinator, for more details.

RCPA is excited to once again host the RCPA PAC silent auction, which will be held in conjunction with the 2025 RCPA Annual Conference Strive to Thrive. The silent auction will take place outside Connections Hall, and we are looking to attract the attention of over 700 attendees, including registrants, presenters, exhibitors, and sponsors. The money raised helps to support the RCPA PAC; these funds provide financial support to state legislators who have demonstrated a strong, consistent, and positive interest in our issues and priorities.

We are requesting your consideration in assisting us by providing a donation of an auction item. We are hoping to secure a variety of items that will be enticing to all members. All donations are greatly appreciated and can be something as simple as a gift certificate for a restaurant to a basket of sorts (candy, movie night, grilling items, cooking theme, etc.). We are also accepting items such as jewelry, designer handbags, tickets to college or professional sporting events, golf items, and sports memorabilia.

Please contact Christine Tartaglione by August 25, 2025, if you would like to donate any items. Thank you for your consideration of our request. We hope we can count on your support, and we look forward to seeing you at the conference!

RCPA is excited to share that registration will be opening soon for Strive to Thrive — the conference is only three months away! This event, which will be held September 9 – 12 at the Hershey Lodge, is a highlight for the PA health and human services fields. Stay tuned this month for upcoming details regarding registration, workshops, booking your hotel room, and more!

In addition, there are still many opportunities available for sponsorship and exhibit booths, so don’t delay! Opportunities still available include coffee and refreshment breaks, our Awards Luncheon, entertainment, and meal sponsorships. View this year’s Sponsors, Exhibitors, and Advertiser Brochure, which features detailed lists of all the ways your organization can thrive at our conference.

Creating spaces where professionals feel seen, valued, and supported is critical to fostering thriving workplaces. This session highlights the transformative power of curated communities like the Black Residency Collective and B.W.E.L., which provide unique opportunities for connection, innovation, and growth.

Participants will walk away with a deeper understanding of how intentional spaces can catalyze resilience and drive collective success in the workforce.

Presenter: Sierra McNeil, MSW

Objectives: Following this course, the learner will:

  • Identify the key elements of curated spaces that foster a sense of belonging among diverse professionals;
  • Analyze the impact of curated spaces on workplace innovation, relationships, and talent retention through real-world examples; and
  • Describe strategies to implement or enhance curated spaces within one’s organization to improve workforce outcomes.

Certificates of attendance are available to RCPA members who attend this webinar; anyone interested in a certificate should contact Cathy Barrick.
