SUPPORT, ADVOCACY, AND PROFESSIONAL LEARNING FOR THE K-12 HUMAN RESOURCE PROFESSIONAL

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MESSAGE

Hello everyone! 
The TWIO Week 14 is here for your reading pleasure!   Activity is rapidly increasing and we are very close to the finish line.  Look for another TWIO before this Friday as much of the action is happening behind closed doors and will be reported out with very little notice. The most up to date inflationary Factor Legislation is located here , SB 5650 .
Summer HELP sign-up links are below.  If you are interested in Conflict Mediation, the time to sign up is now at the link below.
The voting for President Elect is happening now, it will be open until Wednesday, 4/19/23.  Are you interested in being a Region Representative?  Check with your current Region Reps and let them know you are interested.  Each year, one of the Region Rep positions is open and I encourage all members to consider stepping up for one of these opportunities in your region.  Remember it takes all of us to make WSPA work.
Member Request this week: We have two requests this week:
The first one comes from Janet Hodson of Federal Way: I am requesting sample job descriptions districts might have for a:  Purchasing Lead and/or Purchasing Manager.   Janet Hodson Executive Director for Human Resources Federal Way Public Schools 253.945.2020
The second one comes from Nathan Carlson:  Tumwater needs your help! Is your district using a digital program for digital forms, streamlining processes (issuing electronic contracts compared to paper), or possibly creating a digital workflow? If so, please reach out and share the pros and cons of your district’s program.   Thank you, Nathan Carlson
Funny of the week: Two Hollywood stars ran into each other at the door of their psychiatrist's office.  "Hello, there," said one. "Are you coming or going?"   "If I knew that," said the other, "I wouldn't be here"   UPCOMING EVENTS :
Have a great week everyone!
 Darrell Heisler WSPA Executive Director
