Dan Borschke, CAE, President | Time to start thinking about
your educational opportunities
Starting with the WSAE Educational Conference
Despite the constant rain, this really has been a delightful summer for many reasons. Those of us who live in Wisconsin look forward to warm weather and we certainly take advantage of it for as long as we can. But with school bells warming up and with Back to School Sales now at a brisk pace it is time to think about your post summer educational opportunities.
The debut of the WSAE Educational Conference is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, September 14 and 15 at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells. The theme for the event is 7 Measures of Success for Associations. We are pleased to welcome Michael Gallery, CAE as our tour guide for this full-day event. Michael has been a presenter and strong proponent of the 7 Measures for several years and will bring that experience and expertise as the keynoter at the WSAE Educational Conference.
Start a new tradition by returning to school at the WSAE Educational Conference. See you in September at the Wilderness Resort in Wisconsin Dells! |

The task force's goal is to have a complete first draft of the document ready to share and discuss at the Sept. 10 meeting.
All WSAE members are invited to attend and participate. Registration is necessary, with the $10 fee going to cover the cost of lunch. Please direct questions to Innovation Task Force Chair, Eric Lanke, CAE, at (414) 778-3351 or elanke@nfpa.com.
