Register for Our Annual Committee and Subsection Officer Training and Trustee Meeting

September 30 - October 2 at the Heathman Lodge

Section committee and subsection officer annual training takes place September 30 - October 2 at the Heathman Lodge in Vancouver, WA.


This is the one training a year that provides you with the knowledge and tools to lead your committee and subsection. We have a block of rooms set aside at a discounted rate. Make your room reservation prior to September 16.


We kick off the meeting with a reception and dinner on Wednesday night, training all day Thursday and the Section Board of Trustees will meet Friday morning. We should wrap things up by noon on Friday.


This training is so important that we will even reimburse your travel and hotel costs to attend if your employer is unable to. You must attend through the Trustee Meeting Friday morning for reimbursement.


Registration is now open and training agendas will be sent out within a few weeks.
