Host a Western Section Meeting

The Western-ASPB section is huge.  It includes all continental US states west of the eastern borders of Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico, Hawaii and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.  Our annual western section meetings are generally scheduled in the Winter.  This year's meeting, however, will be held in April.  In any case, we have attempted to move the meeting locations around within the section so that they will periodically be convenient for all of the members.  Unfortunately our Alaska and Hawaii members will automatically be far away from most meeting locations.  The last three meetings were in Reno, NV, Davis, CA and Orem, UT and this year's meeting will be in Tucson, AZ.

We are now trying to identify hosts/locations for the next several Winter (or Spring) WS-ASPB meetings.  Members from all parts of the section are invited to volunteer.  However, because we are eager to move the meetings around, we are particularly inviting members from the Pacific NW (OR, WA, BC and Alberta), the Northwest (MT, WY, ID and Saskatchewan), Southern California , and the San Francisco Bay Area to volunteer.  The task is not so difficult.  The central ASPB headquarters in Rockville can provide very useful help with advertising and registration services, we have guidelines and help available from recent hosts and the section leadership, and the Section's finances are strong.  If you are interested in hosting a WS-ASPB meeting at your location, please contact the Section chair, John Labavitch.
