WHY ATTEND

The 20th Annual WRC-NAPGCM "Professionalism & Excellence: Navigating the Course" Conference will be held October 14-17, 2010 in Costa Mesa, CA. Join us!

This conference is coming at a critical point in our continued pursuit for professional excellence, training and certification. We know that, in this economy, you have to be choosy when it comes to educational/travel expenses and we feel confident the enclosed agenda will provide you with multiple reasons to choose our conference!

In addition to great networking, many opportunities to visit with exhibitors and dynamic general sessions, we will be offering a total of 15 incredible breakout sessions with clinical, business and legal/ethical sessions offered at each time. We've planned some fun and relaxation too! The conference kicks off with a WRC-NAPGCM "California Cruisin" Welcome Reception and includes a silent auction.

Leading into the conference on Thursday we are offering two pre-conference intensive courses which involve separate fees and allow you additional educational/credit opportunities.

We encourage you to make plans NOW to attend.
