PTWA offers student sponsorship for conferences

FALL PTWA CONFERENCE
GREATER TACOMA CONVENTION CENTER
OCTOBER 29-30

Lunch is provided at the PTWA Chapter meeting on Saturday October 30, 2010. Even if you choose not to attend conference courses this year ($60/day for PT/PTA students if received by Oct 15), students are strongly encouraged to attend the Saturday chapter meeting in order to stay involved with PTWA activity and up to date on current issues in our state.
As we've blogged previously, the facility/lunches are costly, but PTWA is doing everything they can to encourage student involvement. PTWA now provides a checkbox on conference registration forms to "sponsor a student meal" for the conference. Students are always warmly welcomed and encouraged to become involved with PTWA and this is another illustration of that support! Thanks PTWA!
Register for the Fall 2010 conference by October 15 for the discounted rate:
