STRENGTH, GROWTH THROUGH CHAPTERS
WCAA is on the rise due to the growth of local chapters. The association
is excited to announce its newest chapters starting up this spring.
Check out the WCAA Web site, www.wcaa.org, for a complete list of
local chapters, contact information and specific meeting dates and
topics.
The WCAA national office provides financial support for new chapters
as well as incentives for chapter growth. Teresa Grysikiewicz, Chapter
Development Assistant, guides chapter coordinators through the start-up
process.
WCAA Industry Partners (vendors and suppliers) realize the value of
being a part of a national association and are supporting the new
and existing chapters in various ways.
If there isn’t a chapter in your area and you would like to help
start one, please contact Mark Nortman at the WCAA office [(888) 298-9222]
