A Message from the Conference Co-Chairs

 

58th Annual DRAP Training Conference
October 19–23, 2025 • Adams County, Pennsylvania

We are thrilled to welcome you to Adams County—this year’s host for the 58th Annual DRAP Training Conference—and to bring the conference back to the historic and inspiring setting of Gettysburg! Registration is now officially open, and we cannot wait to gather with you this October for a week of learning, collaboration, and connection.

This year’s conference promises to be one of the best yet, featuring inspiring keynote speakers, dynamic plenary sessions, interactive workshops, and a wide variety of timely topics for professionals across all disciplines

We encourage you to fully engage in everything this conference has to offer. Take part in our thoughtfully curated agenda, connect with colleagues from across the Commonwealth, and be sure to speak with our sponsors and vendors to learn more about the tools and services they provide. In the evenings, join us for the social events being planned throughout the week—great opportunities to relax, have fun, and continue building professional relationships in a more casual setting.

It is an honor for both of us to serve as your 2025 Conference Co-Chairs. These conferences are no small undertaking, and we are incredibly grateful for the talented team behind the scenes:

  • Tricia Sorg, Allegheny County – DRAP President
  • Robin Kelly, Chester County – Agenda
  • Sherri Piper, Adams County – Conference Registration & Entertainment
  • Jim Gallagher, Philadelphia County – Entertainment
  • Adams County Staff – On-site Registration
  • Vonda Huffman & Chris Dunham, Bradford County – Vendors

The constant movement of tasks, deadlines, and last-minute adjustments would not be possible without this extraordinary team. We also want to thank our generous sponsors, our partners at BCSE and PACSETI, and all the individuals who have volunteered their time as presenters, moderators, and contributors.

Gettysburg’s rich heritage provides the perfect backdrop for this exciting week of professional development, networking, and community. We look forward to seeing you in October!
