Master Academy Sessions Scheduled

WMCA will sponsor a master academy session in two locations this October.   Please mark your calendars.    The presentation by popular speaker Michael Buschmohle is entitled “Managing Meetings and Handling Tough Situations”.   Attendance at the full six hour session will earn 3 MMC educational points, 3 CMC experience points or 3 recertification points.

October 17, 2008 - The “east” session will be held in Moses Lake at the Best Western Lake Front Hotel on Friday, October 17.  Call 509-765-9211 for reservations.   Rates will be $70 plus tax for one person and $80 plus tax for two people.  Please register before September 26 when the block of rooms will be released.  The web site for the Best Western is: www.bestwesternwashington.com/hotels/best-western-lake-front-hotel.

October 31, 2008 - The “west” session will be held at the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside on Friday, October 31 (NOT October 10 as we had hoped).  This beautiful new facility is right on the water and just steps from the Seattle-Bremerton ferry. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hampton Inn (360-405-0200) which is just across from the Convention Center.  Tell them you are with the Washington Municipal Clerks to receive the government per diem rate.  The rates change each October, but the hotel estimates the cost will be about $85.00 for a single. Rates are also good for Friday evening and include breakfast.  Check out the facility at www.hamptoninn.com.   Deadline for hotel registration is October 15, 2008 but the block is small so please call early if you want to have a relaxing night on the waterfront before or after the session.

Both sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 4:30. The $125 member registration fee includes morning and afternoon breaks with snacks, lunch, and parking.
