The theme of this year's conference is: "Ensuring Language Access in Unsure Economic Times." Session topics include:
-"Maximizing Organizational Resources"
-"Video Remote Interpreting"
-"Cultural Competency"
-"Ethics" - two hours of Ethics!

We look forward to robust discussions on these topics and more, including collaboration, sharing resources, procurement and measurement models, appropriate use of technology tools, emerging issues providing language access services in education as well as legal, medical and social service settings!
(Registration opens 30 minutes before the start time each day of the conference.)
NOTES:
*** Washington and Oregon Court interpreter credits will be applied for, as will Washington MCLE credits. Please check back for the approved number of credits!
***IF you would like to attend BOTH days of the conference, please be sure to select the SECOND "Friday" option in the drop-down box above. The description to the right will say "Two Day." We apologize for any confusion due to the multiple Friday dates.
Also please be aware that the conference is being held the weekend of the Wenatchee Apple Blossom Festival and so you will want to book your hotel room sooner rather than later. Attached to the conference center is the Coast Wenatchee Center Hotel - call them and mention WASCLA to get your reduced room rate at: 1.800.663.1144.
You can see prior conference materials at our website: www.wascla.org.
Upon request, WASCLA will provide reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities. Submit such requests via email to wascla.lep@gmail.com. Because we are a volunteer organization with no staff and limited resources, please make your request as far in advance of the event as possible. We will attempt to meet requests regardless of time frame.
