WASFAA Conference Planning Handbook:

This document has been created by people who have participated in past conferences. It is not meant to be a script or a manual, but simply a guide for Spring and Fall Conference Chairs as well as conference committee members. The first 23 pages are the actual planning handbook which includes a timetable and planning schedule. The remaining 75 pages are sample documents such as agendas, registration information, history of past WASFAA speakers and conference evaluations. We encourage you to reference these items and use them as needed.

This is a living WASFAA document that will be edited or updated according to the new experiences in our WASFAA conference planning. At the conclusion of each conference, the Conference Chairs are asked to send updates, ideas or suggestions to insert into the WASFAA Conference Planning Handbook. Updates or changes to the WASFAA Planning Handbook need to be passed on to the current WASFAA President and will be approved or denied by the WASFAA Executive Committee.
Committee Objectives: (from the WASFAA Handbook)
  • To select Site and Program Chairs for each Conference scheduled during the Chair's presidency.
  • To plan and coordinate the program and site arrangements for the conference.
  • To mentor and train new Conference Chairs.
  • To document conference information.
  • To work with Conference Site Coordinator in the choosing of sites and dates for another year at the terminus of the four year site plan.
  • Update and insert comments, suggestions for future conference planning in the WASFAA Conference Planning Handbook.
