2026 International ACAC Conference Session Proposal Form

Working in the field of international admissions and actively caring for children or adult family members can have unique and often overwhelming challenges. Demanding high-volume reading periods, extensive travel (both domestic and international), and often non-traditional work hours creates significant conflicts with the responsibilities of being a primary or active family caregiver. This facilitated discussion is intended for professionals at all career stages who are navigating these dual responsibilities and will provide a confidential, supportive space to share practical strategies, discuss organizational and structural barriers, and explore opportunities for advocacy within the profession. Participants will also exchange ideas for setting boundaries, communicating needs, and sustaining their careers in international admission over the long term.
