Creating a Safe Future for Our Children
Opening Plenary Session
William C. Bell, President and Chief Executive Officer of Casey Family Programs and a doctoral candidate at Hunter College School of Social Work, has devoted his entire 30-year career in child welfare to championing on behalf of the now more than half-a-million children and youth residing in foster care. Currently, he leads the largest national foundation dedicated solely to foster care in its strategy to reduce the foster care population, as well as assure their safety and well-being. In his Keynote Address, Mr. Bell shares the vision of the Casey Family Programs for improving the child welfare system, emphasizing the role each one of us must play in the effort to strengthen families and ensure all children grow up in safe, nurturing, and loving homes. Setting the tone for the 16th National Conference on Child Abuse and Neglect, Mr. Bell proposes two most significant instruments of change: an unwavering belief we can make a difference and the courage to act.
