Thank you to all who were able to attend the Western Region Career Development Conference this past weekend. I believe this conference was a great success, and I hope everyone was able to practice competition, get feedback from judges, and learn leadership through team building at the Leadership Workshop. I would love to hear your feedback (good or bad) about what you thought of the conference. Again, thanks for joining us!

I would also like to thank all volunteers, advisors, and judges, as well as Nicole Vinson, Gerald Allison, and Mae J. Laatsch for attending the conference.

Hope to see you in a few weeks at the State Conference!

WMMA President &
Western Region VP

Hey everyone--

Hope you all had a great winter break! Just a quick reminder for those in the Western Region, the Western Region Career Development Conference is only about a month away On Saturday, February 13th, UW-Eau Claire will be hosting this year's conference where there will be many competitive events, networking opportunities, as well as a visit from National Delta Epsilon Chi Vice President Michael Siakpere!

I am very excited for this year's conference--and those in the Western Region are greatly encouraged to attend. Whether it is your first year or fifth year competing, this year's conference is a great way to polish up your professional skills, or to learn what WMMA/Delta Epsilon Chi is all about. Advisors have receieved the conference packet several months ago-but if any members or advisors would like another copy of this packet, I would be happy to e-mail it out before the conference. Please contact me with questions--I hope to see you all there on Feburary 13th for an awesome conference!
