Presenters will share tips and ideas from the field to help workers and program managers enhance their agencies’ work in this area. Presenters: • Britt Cloudsdale is the program coordinator of the family support team at AdoptUSKids. She has over 10 years of child welfare experience, with expertise in foster care and adoption. • Mikie Franklin is the supervisor of recruitment and training in foster care and adoption for Washoe County Human Services Agency in Nevada.
