Welcome to Drawing Water from a Deeper Well

Planned Parenthood professionals are at the forefront of a worldwide movement to create an equitable and humane society within a viable and sustainable community.

At a time when comprehensive sexuality education is under attack, abortion rights are being threatened and many educators and trainers feel isolated or even besieged, we look forward to this opportunity to exchange ideas, disseminate best practices, develop new skills, explore emerging topics and create support systems to unite us in our common cause. We are thrilled to invite you to join us at APPLE’s 2008 National Conference for Educators and Trainers.

Drawing Water from a Deeper Well is a training opportunity for Educators, Trainers, Directors and Managers. The conference will take place on the beautiful campus of Butler University in Indianapolis, Indiana. This unique training opportunity features six themes that will provide the opportunity for in-depth learning in a specific area. Participants can fully immerse in a theme, or choose from among all concurrent workshops to meet their specific learning goals.

  • Explore a broad range of best practices in sexuality education and issues of current concern to those in the field.

The Association of Planned Parenthood Leaders in Education (APPLE) was formally established at the Education Director’s Retreat in Atlanta, Georgia in November, 1990. APPLE was organized to provide a nationwide network for education managers through which ongoing support, assistance and professional expertise could be shared. APPLE members enjoy a quarterly newsletter, present annual recognition (the APPLE awards), and provide mentoring and partnership to new PP Education leaders. The APPLE Board and work groups are moving forward with 2006 field-determined priorities which include developing white papers on our issues, establishing standards for professional development and program design, and determining ways to communicate our expertise and experience within the PP family and in our worlds.
