Mark your calendars and plan to attend the
WEAC Region 3 Board of Directors meeting on Saturday, October 15, 2016 @ FVTC-Appleton, 10-Noon with lunch and Zone meetings to follow. The Board consists of representatives from every Local in Region 3 - - every Local has the opportunity to send their President or a designee to represent your interests at these bi-annual meetings. It's a great time to tell the Region 3 Executive Committee what you think. Express your opinions. Provide feedback. Share your Local's good news with others and hear what's going on elsewhere in the Region.
