Message from WSCPA President- Mark Solomon
Dear Friends and members,
We appreciate your attendance at the 44th Annual Washington State Crime Prevention Association’s conference! It was such a pleasure and much more meaningful to be together, in person, at the networking party, general sessions, lunch and learns, and breakout workshops. Even the raffle drawings were fun with those of you who could stay until the end! Thank you to those who traveled across the Valley or from other places around the State.
It’s not over! We still have plenty of learning and resource sharing ahead of us. As we mentioned, new membership in time for the conference will get carried over for all of 2023. Welcome to WSCPA. Please take advantage of all we have to offer:
Crime Prevention Thursdays will start up again on Thursday, October 20th (always the 3rd Thursday). Stay tuned for next month’s topic, TBA soon. Do you want to teach one of the sessions? Please contact us directly (info@wscpa.net).
Next year’s conference is already scheduled and booked: September 18-20, 2023 at the Olympia Hotel at Capitol Lake in Olympia, WA. We will offer an extreme early bird registration for those who need to get the conference in their budgets early. Look for that by early December. We are also looking for early sponsors and exhibitors for next year's conference.
Your evaluations are already helping with next year’s conference planning. We’d also like to know what else you would like during the year. We are looking to update our course and resource offerings during the year, as well as working with officials to make our communities safer for all. Now is the perfect time to let us know about your needs, your ideas, as well as great instructor recommendations.
Speaking of perfect timing, the board is meeting in November. Are you interested in contributing to WSCPA through board service? Are you ready to take the step toward a leadership role? Let’s talk! There are a few positions open—specifically in these county Regions:
WSCPA is as strong, creative, versatile, and impactful as our members! Thank you for your membership and participation.
