I know, I am finally getting a message out to all of you in Area 9. I'm sure you have been sitting around, waiting to hear from me.
Note: If you are no longer involved in Leadership or Club/Sport/Athletic activities at your school and would like to be removed from my contact list, please let me know. AND - if you know of a new advisor I need to add - feel free to share his/her contact info with me. I GREATLY appreciate updated information.

- The conference hotels are already on the website (Hilton Garden and Red Lion).
- Remember we do a Hall of Fame presentation at the conference. If you want to nominate someone, the criteria and application are on the website. Deadlines for nominations are December 31st.
- Board positions are up for election at the conference. This year the even area reps are open, in addition to Middle Level Rep, President Elect, and a few appointed positions. Please shoot me an email if you are interested, or want to know more before the conference.
- Obviously, I will be begging, I mean asking, you all to present. Last year, we had a few Area 9ers present either a 50 min session or a Meet the Pros. I know some of you took a year off and I would love for you to share again this year. One area of need is sessions for Class and Club Advisors. If we can collaborate with our Class and Club advisors, all students will benefit. If you haven't presented before, consider sharing a resource (book, video, website, manipulative) that you have found helpful in the Meet the Pros.
- Presenter applications are available on the website.
- Speaking of the website - our new and fabulous Technology Coordinator and also a fellow Area 9er, Ryan Healy, has revamped the website. It is super user-friendly, and it is live now! You can register, you can get ideas, you can sign up to present. You can link to the hotels near the conference. Please check it out: wacaonline.org
