The "Call for Papers" for WSSA's 2021 conference is now on our Facebook page, facebook.com/wssapage, in both graphic and text formats, with dates, types of proposals accepted, and links.

Submission & registration portals re-opened 10/13/2021. Submission deadline is January 29, 2021.

2021 conference submission & registration portals are temporarily closed while adjusting to virtual formats. Will re-open as soon as changes are made. Notice of reopening will be posted here.

Because WSSA has learned that the 2021 conference hotel will still be closed, due to COVID-19, on the dates scheduled for the conference, the 2021 WSSA conference will be held virtually. The 2021 WSSA virtual conference will include papers, PowerPoints, videos, & ZOOM interaction

WSSA thanks the generous members who donated to defray the expense of pivoting the 2020 conference from an in-person format to a virtual format.

WSSA’s April 1-4 2020 conference changed to a non-physical, virtual, format, at a later date. See “News” at WSSAweb.com for details.

While at the 2020 Conference make plans to visit the Rose Garden in Portland!
