Making Waves—Creating Opportunities

WBEA invites you to the 2012 Conference to

Read on for more . . .

WORKSHOPS—Reserve a spot in the computer hands-on sessions that include digital imaging, Quickbooks, Photoshop, Office 2010, and more. Check the web site for details.

BREAKOUTS—Choose business education topics from over 27 options to learn new skills, trends, strategies, and software. Remember to share with your colleagues when you return to your campus.

ENTERTAINMENT—Pick a tour, enjoy the keynote speakers, network at receptions, cruise for lunch, visit the exhibits, applaud winning business educators, and see gourmet cooking. Wear your honoree pin, try “line” dancing, or win a prize for collecting the most business cards!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS—Give High-Five Recognition to many of your colleagues and friends for a donation of $5 each. The High-Five goal is 200 honorees. You can help to reach this goal by sending a check today to WBEA, P. O. Box 417488, Sacramento, CA 95841 or by bringing it with you to the conference. See our current list of honorees at www.wbea.info. Each donation is an entry in a drawing for a two-night stay in Kauai, Hawai’i. These donations will be used for teacher scholarships and professional development. Attend the awards ceremony and dinner on Sunday, February 19, to honor WBEA/CBEA educators.

This month’s HIGH FIVE goes to the WBEA Conference Committee Chairs—Pauline Newton and Susie White—for organizing the February 16-20 Conference in Newport Beach, CA, next month! These two and their committee of volunteers are going to provide an outstanding program that supports business education. I hope you can participate!
