•San Francisco convention

The spring JEA/NSPA convention in San Francisco is April 25-28 and has an April 4 early registration deadline. As you’re preparing for the convention, please put the Region 6 gathering on your agenda. Based on feedback from members, we’ve changed the regional meetings to Thursday night during the adviser reception. You’ll receive more information about this as we get closer to convention time, but consider this a “Save the date” notification.

Here’s to a great 2013.
