WLA Fall Conference Proposals Open


Ever think when you are looking at planned programs for an upcoming conference, "Gee I wish they would have a program on this or that?". Well maybe you are the person to propose that program and gather peers from your system, or colleagues you've met across the state to do a program yourselves!

Creating programs for conferences and sharing your knowledge is a great way to grow your professional development, leadership and know-how. And it helps you tailor the kinds of knowledge you think others can benefit from. So go ahead and give it a whirl!
