The Regional Activity is less than a month away! Have you registered?
We have two important changes to our onference schedule (pardon me for the Bowie reference - or don't).
1) The happy hour sponsored by PRSA has changed to a social later that evening at the new Turnbull Center at UO Portland. Transportation will be provided.
2) The New Professionals Summit is now Thursday, May 8, two days after the Regional Activity, as opposed to the day after. The event is now half-day.
The Communicators Conference is still Wednesday and Thursday, May 7 and 8, beginning the day after the Regional Activity. At $300 for two days, your laundry money won't cover the cost of attendance (don't show up smelling of sweaty gym socks), but the organizers say the quality is on par with a national conference. Plus, you get to hear the hilarious Joel Stein keynote the conference! Discounts are available for volunteers. If you're interested, contact our Regional Activity Director, Beth Evans, for more information.
The new conference schedule is as follows:

Lindsey, I love you.
We canceled the NP summit, but created a student rate (still expensive, but we're not making a profit off of you) of $150. We also have a student scholarship program. If you need some help, email me at tara-at-woloshin-dot-com.
