In response to the announcement on the IARP virtual vs. in-person conferences, I don't see anything referencing the IALCP symposium, which has been a long-standing educational tradition formatted specifically for life care planners and life care planning continuing education.  Am I missing something?  This is a vital component to a growing field that is under represented in IARP.  Was there a decision made without addressing the field of life care planning that we would not have the symposium or will there be an upcoming announcement regarding that well-established tradition from the IALCP Board in the near future ???

Sherry,

Thank you very much. Your IALCP Board is meeting with the IARP Big Board tomorrow regarding this very issue.

All-

IARP leadership has chosen to incorporate Life Care planning content as part of their 3 day full IARP conference in lieu of the annual Life Care Planning Symposium. 

Your IALCP Board has requested reconsideration of this decision.

We are working together to see if we can resolve this issue.

Nick and IALCP Board,

Thank you for defending IALCP from IARP's unexpected decision to cancel the ISLCP (IALCP Symposium) at the upcoming October 2023 Washington DC meeting. Historically the LCP Symposium has been a separate meeting from IARP Conference but scheduled back to back with the IARP Annual Conference for several reasons:  

1. the back to back ISLCP/IARP Conference allowed life care planners an additional opportunity to learn together, network AND collaborate to build the practice of life care planning
2. it encourages life care planners to attend both the IARP Conference as well as ISLCP meetings facilitating an increased number of registrants at the IARP Conference 
3. back to back IARP/ISLCP provided additional educational opportunities to life care planners. As a member of ISLCP planning committee for many years we often had to decline excellent presentation submissions because there was not enough time during the 2 day ISLCP meeting. To facilitate outstanding IARP LCP track presentations the ISLCP planning committee would recommend these presentations be approved by the IARP Conference planning committee. 
4. back to back IARP/ISLCP meetings encouraged life care planners to learn about and meet people from other IARP sections, encouraging networking and the chance to learn about other rehabilitation disciplines
5. back to back IARP/ISLCP meetings supported our diverse community of life care planners allowing Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors that include Life Care Planning in their practice the opportunity to participate in both Vocational Rehabilitation sessions as well as Life Care Planning sessions without having to choose one session over another forcing colleagues to miss the opportunity to attend live meetings in both specialties when sessions were scheduled in both tracks at the same time. 

   The IALCP board's efforts to encourage IARP to reconsider this decision is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Tanya,

I appreciate your perspective and that you looked at the data regarding virtual vs in person meetings. A virtual option makes sense for a lot of people for a number of reasons, including me at times. The issue is not that a virtual mid-year meeting is offered, but the elimination of ISLCP with the only option being IARP LCP track. This strategy is not consistent with our primary goal to disseminate information to as many people as possible (excellent content and opportunity for 4 vs 2 days of CEU hours). It is my hope that we can somehow come to a solution without the elimination of the 2023 ISCLP back to back with the 2023 IARP conference.

Regarding virtual vs in person, might there by a hybrid option? Possibly offering in person meetings that are also presented virtually either at the same time or at a later time. I understand from EWALD that the platform required for a meeting that is in person and virtual at the same time is expensive. I would be interested in a comparison of the cost of a platform to host a virtual conference capable of 100's of attendees with the cost for in person conference combined with virtual conference (either at the same time or at separate times) or as IARP did for 2022 by offering recorded sessions post conference.

I share your concern regarding non-approval of CLCP CEU's. One of our members recently posted that CLCP CEU's were granted for IARP and Summit post conference after the $50.00 fee was paid for non-preapproved coursework. Having worked on ISLCP and Summit conferences in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. I am aware of the team effort and time that goes into ensuring excellent submissions for CEU approval to several credentialing organizations. I am concerned that CLCP CEU's would be approved post conference rather than pre-conference. It is my understanding that EWALD was given no reason pre-approval of CLCP CEU's were denied for either 2022 ISLCP, 2022 Summit or 2022 IARP CLCP tracks. I know first hand how hard our EWALD representative (Julia Renner) works on CEU submissions for multiple credentials to multiple credentialing agencies. Julia is a pro at this, it is hard to believe that content of presenters or presentations were unacceptable for 2022 Summit, 2022 ISLCP, and 2022 IARP LCP track submissions. This is more confounding after learning that one of our members has received post course approval for the same content/presenters that were submitted for pre-approval.

I remain frustrated.

Sherry,

Thank you to you and colleagues that have expressed concern and dissatisfaction regarding IARP's decision to cancel the 2023 Washington DC IALCP Symposium (ISLCP). I agree with my colleagues that preservation of ISLCP is crucial to the field of Life Care Planning for too many reasons to mention in this email. 

I am deeply concerned that IARP made this decision without involving the life care planning community in this decision. Further, IARP announced this decision unexpectedly and for the first time when the 2023 IARP Conference in Washington DC was announced. IARP provided no rational for this decision except a vague reference that IARP was responding to the recent survey. I participated in that survey and do not remember any questions asking if life care planners had an opinion about cancelling ISLCP and "replacing" it with an IARP-LCP track. Historically both ISLCP and the IARP-LCP track have been an option to life care planners ensuring additional learning opportunities by attending back to back ISLCP and IARP Conferences annually.

It is my sincere hope that IARP reconsiders this decision and does whatever needs to be done to add ISLCP back to the 2023 Washington DC meeting schedule as well as ensuring that in person ISLCP and IARP Conference meetings continue. 

On another note, it is my hope that the planned mid-year virtual meeting is not intended to eventually replace in person meetings. After participating in planning as well as attending the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 meetings I feel strongly that the virtual 2020 and 2021 meetings (although excellent and the best we could do during the COVID-19 pandemic) did not offer the same opportunities as live, in person meetings.

Dana

After participating in planning as well as attending the 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 meetings I feel strongly that the virtual 2020 and 2021 meetings (although excellent and the best we could do during the COVID-19 pandemic) did not offer the same opportunities as live, in person meetings.

In response to the announcement on the IARP virtual vs. in-person conferences, I don't see anything referencing the IALCP symposium, which has been a long-standing educational tradition formatted specifically for life care planners and life care planning continuing education.  Am I missing something?  This is a vital component to a growing field that is under represented in IARP.  Was there a decision made without addressing the field of life care planning that we would not have the symposium or will there be an upcoming announcement regarding that well-established tradition from the IALCP Board in the near future ???

"The AANLCP proudly announces that our 2023 Conference has been pre-approved by the Commission on Rehabilitation Counselor Certification (CRCC) for 15.50 general contact hours and 1.0 ethics contact hours. Additionally, we have been pre-approved for 17.2 contact hours by the CNLCP Board and FIG Education for LCP-C certification."  

Sadly, I did not see ICHCC listed here.

The explanation I have been given by ICHCC is that they are taking a step back from participating with the IALCP.<o:p></o:p>

Sherry,

Thank you to you and colleagues that have expressed concern and dissatisfaction regarding IARP's decision to cancel the 2023 Washington DC IALCP Symposium (ISLCP). I agree with my colleagues that preservation of ISLCP is crucial to the field of Life Care Planning for too many reasons to mention in this email. 

I am deeply concerned that IARP made this decision without involving the life care planning community in this decision. Further, IARP announced this decision unexpectedly and for the first time when the 2023 IARP Conference in Washington DC was announced. IARP provided no rational for this decision except a vague reference that IARP was responding to the recent survey. I participated in that survey and do not remember any questions asking if life care planners had an opinion about cancelling ISLCP and "replacing" it with an IARP-LCP track. Historically both ISLCP and the IARP-LCP track have been an option to life care planners ensuring additional learning opportunities by attending back to back ISLCP and IARP Conferences annually.

It is my sincere hope that IARP reconsiders this decision and does whatever needs to be done to add ISLCP back to the 2023 Washington DC meeting schedule as well as ensuring that in person ISLCP and IARP Conference meetings continue. 

On another note, it is my hope that the planned mid-year virtual meeting is not intended to eventually replace in person meetings.
