Sunday, June 3 – Tuesday, June 5, 2012 – Mark your calendar for the biggest learning and networking event for Washington’s association community. WSAE’s Annual Convention is one of the best opportunities to refresh your knowledge and to reunite with your friends and colleagues. As always, education will be the main highlight of the Convention – from the Sunday Master Workshop to the Convention general sessions and intensive breakout sessions. There is sure to be something that will captivate you and fit your learning style.
And what better place for the 2012 event than The Heathman Lodge! Designed to express the beauty and spirit of the Pacific Northwest, The Heathman Lodge brings the splendor of the outdoors into the city of Vancouver. The rustic charm of the mountain-like retreat, enhanced by modern urban amenities, creates a lodging atmosphere that is both peaceful and productive.

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 – Led by nationally known architect of ideas Jeffrey Cufaude, "Refreshing Your Competitive Advantage: Innovating For Increased Value" is a special program that will explore the trends and forces that should most influence association work; consider the key member needs and aspirations you should optimize your solutions to; examine incremental and exponential innovations for increasing member value; and use design thinking to refresh your competitive advantage for core association functions including communications, member engagement and community, professional development, and volunteer involvement.
Team registrations are encouraged as this seminar includes a hands-on “lab” component where attendees can work with colleagues on a real program/service from their organization.
Whether your programs or services need a complete overhaul or just a little fine-tuning, this three-hour, deep-dive learning experience can help.
