The PEA Education Conference is an opportunity for members from all chapters to get together and participate in workshops and speaker sessions. This year’s sessions include subjects like membership engagement, developing leadership, collective bargaining, using new media and technologies, and an Association Executive roundtable/q&a session.
This year’s conference will be held at the Westin Bayshore in Downtown Vancouver, May 14-15. In addition to the education components, members have the opportunity to participate in a social activity and a catered dinner Friday evening.
Registration will open this year’s Education Conference program at 1:00PM on Friday, May 14th, and the events will conclude on Saturday, May 15th, at 3:30PM.
Each chapter is entitled to send a number of attendees based on the amount of members within the chapter.
