EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MESSAGE

Hello everyone! 

The TWIO Week 15 is here and I sent out a couple other side by side comparison documents earlier today as the Legislative Session is finished.  Look for a final TWIO soon. 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 closed congratulations again to Jennifer Koskovich-Renton (President Elect 2023-24, President 2024-25).  Just a reminder that Doug Christensen of Kennewick is our President starting July 1, 2023.  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.

Funny of the week: I asked my uncle "Why he named his dogs Timex and Rolex?" and he replied, "because they are my watch dogs".
