2010 WSPA Spring Conference 

WSPA is pleased to unveil the key note speakers and professional development strands for the 2010 Annual Spring Conference. To be held in Olympia, your hosts, the Region IV Spring Conference Committee, welcomes Mr. Patrick Snow,  a best-selling author, international keynote speaker, publishing coach, and Internet entrepreneur. For more than 20 years, he has studied the field of personal growth and development. As a result, he is called “The Dean of Destiny” by high achievers nationwide; Mr. Joe Piscatella, one of the country’s most respected experts on how to live a healthy lifestyle in the real world with a high-energy style, and who brings a visionary message, and the extraordinary skill to tell it; and finally Ms. Victoria Ashford,  the Executive Director of Excelcis Training & Consulting, Inc., who through her years of success--and sometimes failure--has gained some amazing insights about leadership, and from this understanding was born the Fearless Leading concept & curriculum.

In addition the Conference will focus on the following learning strands:

1. Labor Relations and Negotiations
2. Leaves and Accommodations
3. Mental/Physical Well-Being in the Workplace
4. Performance Management

Early registration is strongly encouraged.   If your District registers before the new year (prior to January 1, 2010), you will be entered in a drawing for one free additional registration to give to someone in your District!
