Registration for the TCMA Fall Conference on October 23-25 in downtown Chattanooga is now open. This promises to be an exciting and educational conference with many opportunities to learn new skills and to network with fellow professionals. Beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday and ending at 11:30 on Friday, there will be lots of informative programming including: 

• Working with the Media: Tips, Tricks and Possible Pitfalls 
• The THRIVE Regional Partnership 
• Human Trafficking: What You and Your Police Department Need to Know 
• Celebrating 100 Years of the ICMA Code of Ethics 
• Next Steps for the TCMA Legislative Committee 
• The SMART Initiative and How it can Help Your City 
• Culture Wars Come Home 
• Principled/Mission-Based Policing 
• And more 

The conference takes place at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Chattanooga, located at 407 Chestnut Street. The TCMA block of rooms is full, but additional rooms have been booked across the street at the Hampton Inn. Our block there is past the cutoff date, but I would recommend trying the link anyway and calling them if necessary to see if you can get a room. A room includes breakfast. To book a room at the Hampton Inn go here: TCMA Fall Conference.

The Wednesday Night Social Event will take place at Southside Social, and it promises to be fun! So be sure to register for this ticketed event and enjoy food, beverages, and a good time with your friends. You can register for the social event.
