The 14th Annual International Fatherhood Conference theme is: Partnership and Collaboration: "Expanding Responsible Fatherhood and Healthy Family Program Connections". This focus is seen as a necessary and important foundation in advancing our efforts on behalf of our customers; fathers and mothers, couples, youth and children. Expanding our connections will enable the responsible fatherhood field to achieve positive outcomes and maximize the use of available resources. We can no longer function as “islands” unto ourselves. Nor is there a “one size fits all” approach when it comes to meeting the diverse needs of our customers. To achieve the best results, partnership and collaboration is the key.
