Hello WACA Area 1!
I am Jaime Johnson, your WACA Area 1 Rep. WACA is the state organization for all things related to student activities and we are grateful you are here to support the kids.
This organization is for people in charge of activities, asb advisors, class advisors, administration supervising activities and anyone who is involved in student activities at their schools. If you are not one of these people or do not want to be on this mailing list, please let me know. If there is someone else that this email would be better directed towards, please let me know that too!
I apologize for this note coming so late in the year. It’s been a wild beginning of the year. But here we are on…on the cusp of Thanksgiving and I am thankful for you!
WACA Information:
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, get some much needed November rest and enjoy the people surrounding you.
Thank you for all you do!

WACA Information:
- WACA Annual Conference:Is held March 13 – 15, 2019 at Three Rivers Convention Center in the Tri-Cities. While it is a bit of a drive for us, once you’re there, it is a great location to meet our needs, get to know other people involved in activities and to focus on personal growth, professional growth and networking. Registration is now open at www.wacaonline.org
- Venues:The Board uses the Fall Meeting to check out possible sites for our conference. Since there have been several changes in the Spokane area, we decided it was time to visit again. We have to find a site that will accommodate our many break-out sessions, our big vendor area, our large-group sessions, and our housing needs (for about 350 people). The venues were either too big or too small, so at this time, the Spokane venues didn’t work out. The Three Rivers Convention Center in the Tri-Cities continues to offer what we need to host a conference to fit your needs.
- Advisor Certification:WACA sponsors an Advisor Certification program. Details may be found on our website wacaonline.org. The application is simplified for this year. If you haven’t already applied, I would recommend it. I use it on my TPEP evaluation each year. Deadline for applications for this cycle (certificates handed out at the March 2019 annual meeting) is February 1st.
- Hall of Fame Awards: Each March at the conference, we present our Hall of Fame awards. Please consider going online at wacaonline.org, and nominating a colleague. Details are on the website, and the deadline is December 1st of 2018.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, get some much needed November rest and enjoy the people surrounding you.
Thank you for all you do!
