Each fall we come together as a professional community at the Western Regional Panel’s (WRP) Annual Meeting. This is a highlight of the year for many as we take the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our membership, network together, inspire each other, and collaboratively plan for the future! This year the WRP will be doing this a bit differently and will host its 2020 Annual Meeting virtually September 14-18.

You can find the full agenda here.
