Programs Committee

Responsibilities: The responsibilities of the Programs Committee are to encourage WASSA members to share "best practices" program information at the annual meeting; and the solicitation, evaluation, and annual meeting award recognition of these program plans and materials.

Chair: The chair of the Programs Committee will be selected from its membership and appointed by the President, after consulting with the Executive Committee.

Membership: Members of the Programs Committee will be appointed by the President. There will be six members serving three-year terms, with the terms of two members expiring each year.

2011 Programs Award

The Programs Committee is accepting submission for programs in four categories:
  • Best Credit Program
  • Best Non-Credit Program
  • Best Administrative Program
  • Carol Switzer Award (formerly, Best Use of a Stolen Idea)—in your submission, tell us who you stole the idea from and how you transformed it. Both parties will receive an award.
Submission Deadline was in August; however, I have been accepting late submissions.  Hard deadline is Sept. 10th!
All submissions are expected to provide material for a poster session at the WASSA Conference.  
Please forward all submissions and any questions to the Programs Committee Chair, Ben Perkins, at benperkins@wsu.edu. You may also contact him at 509-335-1915.
