Virtual Fall Training Series
WASFAA Training is excited to return with our 2025 Fall Virtual Training Series—designed to help you stay strong, flexible, and ready for whatever comes next. This fall, we’re bringing you a powerful lineup of speakers and sessions to help you adapt and excel in a shifting landscape.
We’re thrilled to welcome back Robert Weinerman for his deep-dive training on Verification and Taxes, and School House Connections for an impactful session on supporting homeless youth. Your WASFAA Training Team will also lead practical, hands-on sessions covering federal reporting, resolving conflicting information, building and using operational calendars, and more.
This season is all about learning to bend with change—not break under it—and emerging stronger than before. Join us for a fall of growth, resilience, and thriving through change.
