[Juliette Grimmett <>]

Dear Colleagues -

We just added the schedule at-a-glance to the website for the 2019 Annual National Solving the Campus Sexual Assault & Dating Violence Puzzle conference entitled, Transforming Institutions Through Courageous Action. Check it out and register soon! The regular registration rate is valid through November 22. 

Check out the list below of AMAZING sessions at this year's conference. Presenters include experts from colleges and universities around the country such as California State University, Northridge, Michigan State University, Tulane University, and Connecticut College; and from organizations such as the One Love Foundation, NC DOJ, Casa de Esperanza, and the National Network to End Domestic Violence. See workshop titles and other announcements below!

OVW Approval!
Chrysalis Network is thrilled to announce that OVW has approved for Chrysalis Network to invite OVW grantees to attend! Please see the conditional approval language below:

OVW Grantees have been conditionally approved to attend this conference. Grantees are required to contact their OVW program specialist to get approval specific to their award and to ensure that a Grant Adjustment Notice (GAN) is issued. A GAN must be completed before grantees commit or expend any funds related to attending this conference. The reference number for this conference is OVW-2020-MU-002. This number must be used by grantees when requesting approval via a GAN or in their “memo to the file”. 

Why Puzzles?

Yes, there are a ton of conferences out there - what makes this one so special you ask??? Here are our top 4 reasons:

1. Presenters: While we bring in the headliners, we also shine spotlights on local unfamiliar rock stars. We strive to provide opportunities for those who are often overlooked.
2. Cost: Offers an affordable national conference experience with a small group feel. Other national sexual violence conferences charge close to double our registration fee ($240/$275 versus $375-$725, with most being $540+).
3. Topic: Puzzles focuses entirely on campus sexual and dating violence.  
4. Community: Puzzles is centered on the beauty and importance of building relationships and community. Our plentiful and hard-working team strive to create a personalized, connected, supportive, and welcoming conference experience tailored to you.

So what are you waiting for? Register now before we sell out! (Because we ALWAYS do)...
