Daniel Hoffman's Workshops


Technology Facilitated Crimes Against the Family


Friday & Saturday

This seminar by its very nature may not be suitable for children under 14 years of age. Discussion will include what technology is currently out there and how it is being used to commit crimes against our children and what parents can do to protect their children while using the technology. This will include: social networking, instant messaging, chat rooms, peer to peer, on-line gaming, cell phones, texting, home gaming systems, and sexual predators. ADULTS ONLY PLEASE


Identity Theft: Are You Who You Say You Are?


Friday & Saturday

One in four people will be the victim of identity theft or a victim of a scam. The average person will spend more than 100 hours trying to repair their credit and identity after becoming a victim. This seminar will cover current trends in Identity Theft and discuss basic steps you can take to protect yourself. It will also cover current scams and frauds that you need to be aware of that could cost you thousands of dollars. If you use a checkbook, a credit card, or a computer, you are at risk. ADULTS ONLY PLEASE

 We are VERY excited to launch an all new website here at ICHE!

But, we realize all good things take time, and might not always go exactly as planned.  So, please be patient as we are still putting some final touches on the site.  Thanks, and check back soon for new updates!

The 2010 Annual ICHE State Convention is almost here!  The Speakers are lined up, the Exhibit Hall is full, and the Volunteers are starting to gather.  We are so excited about this year's theme: Strength for the Journey

Our theme this year is taken from Isaiah 40:28-31:

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.l
He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the LORD, will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

 

So get ready . . . registration opens in less than a week!
