Regional Recognition
The Western Regional Brunch is the premier opportunity to celebrate all of the Regional Award Recipients. Jacki Baca, Western Region Recognition Chair, did an amazing job announcing the awardees. If you were unable to attend the brunch, please take a peek that the 2016-western-regional-breakfast-program. Congratulations to all of the Western Region Specialty and Communicator Recipients.
Fundraising
A major component of the Regional Brunch is to raise funds to support scholarships for conference participants. Thank you to everyone who donated items and supported the auction through bidding on items. I’m thrilled to announce we had a record year and raised a little over $2,700. This is several hundred dollars more than we have brought in the last few years.
I want to thank all of the attendees of the Regional Brunch for quickly jumping to help resolve the issue of being short 20 or so seats. It goes to show how resourceful, quick to recover, and resilient we are as individuals and a collective group.
