Training & Resources

The purpose of the Training Committee is to create opportunities to connect and engage with WASFAA members through training activities. This team of volunteers plans and arranges for all regional training, with the exception of training activities associated with the Annual Conference, Sister Dale Brown Summer Institute, and the Rebekah Hoppel Salcedo Leadership Development Program (RHS LDP).

The Training Committee is specifically charged with providing fall training (August through December), particularly through the Virtual Fall Training Series of webinars, offered as a low-cost individual or institutional package to members and non-members. The Committee offers other individual webinars at no cost to WASFAA members throughout the year. The Training Committee also strives to support training opportunities at the eight state conferences and annual WASFAA conference in the Spring. In addition, the Committee serves as the liaison for the NASFAA training activities that require involvement of the Association, such as in-person CFAA® prep courses and credential training.

The Committee develops an annual calendar of training activities and promotes this calendar on a regional basis to members.

WASFAA is committed to providing a safe, productive, and harassment-free environment at its conferences, training sessions, board and committee meetings, and other WASFAA-sponsored events. WASFAA prohibits harassment or discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected status. It also prohibits sexual harassment or intimidation, including unwelcome sexual attention, stalking (physical or virtual), unsolicited physical contact; and threatening behavior.

These conduct rules apply to all attendees and participants at any WASFAA-sponsored event, including online events. These conduct rules apply to all presenters, attendees, and participants. Any violations should be reported immediately to a member of the WASFAA event staff or leadership team; we also expect participants to alert venue staff or security of any dangerous situations, or of anyone in distress.

WASFAA reserves the right to remove any individual from attendance or other participation in any WASFAA-sponsored event without prior warning or refund, and to take additional action as determined necessary, notifying appropriate individuals, including loss of WASFAA membership.
