Western Region Conference
01/18/2008

The 19th Annual Western Region Conference is being held in Seattle, WA on January 26th and 27th. The Washington Academy of Physician Assistants is hosting this leadership conference in conjunction with their annual Re-certification Review and Winter CME Conference.

This year's Western Regional Meeting has concentrated on offering leadership information from more experienced leaders to new leaders, "Leaders Teaching Leaders" so be sure to send your new, or up and coming, leaders to this conference! They can learn how to "tip toe" through the state legislative processes (taught by Ann Davis), how to submit resolutions to the HOD (taught by Paul Robinson), how to build relationships with your state medical society, and other great topics.
