AWSP and WASA are excited to host the 2022 AWSP/WASA Summer Conference — held in person — in Spokane this June 26–28! Join us for an opportunity to network and learn with fellow school leaders.
Stop by and say hello to the Northwest MHTTC School Mental Health Team that will be presenting and tabling!
This is a year of celebration — not only because it's the 40th Anniversary of the AWSP/WASA Summer Conference — but also because school leaders like you have overcome unimaginable obstacles during the past three school years.
This year's theme is "You Belong Here." Sessions will focus on belonging, inclusion, collaboration, climate & culture, systems, and student learning
