Oakton Hosts Eighth Annual At-Home Dads Convention
Men who stay home to take care of their children can learn how to make the transition back into the work force at the Eighth Annual At-Home Dads Convention, Saturday, Nov. 22 at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road."Many stay at-home dads wonder how to update their resumes after they've spent a number of years taking care of their children," says event organizer Robert Frank, Ph.D., associate professor of psychology at Oakton. "This year's conference will provide at-home dads with solid tips for getting back into the job market."
Presenters for the At-Home Dads convention include John St. Augustine, creator and host of "Power! Talk Radio," a nationally syndicated radio show that empowers listeners with a renewed sense of life's possibilities, and Chris Coby, a cancer survivor and a recent Ironman triathlon participant. Augustine's address will focus on "This is the Time of Your Life," and Coby's breakout session is entitled, "The Times They Are A-Changin."
Speakers also include Marty Josephson, founder of the e-mail discussion group "Dads-At-Home," Steve Klem, host of AOL's "DadChat," and Peter Baylies, founder of the At-Home Dad Newsletter. Program details may be found at www.oakton.edu/dads.
Registration for Oakton's At-Home Dads Convention is $55 before Oct. 21 ($75 after Oct. 21). Participants who also wish to attend Men's Day at Oakton, scheduled on the following day, Sunday, Nov. 23, may register for both events for $85.
The Best Western River North Hotel, located at 125 W. Ohio, Chicago, is the official hotel of the convention. For special rates and reservations, call 1-800-727-0800, ext. 123.
