Title: Wing/Region Level Conferences
Post by: SARDOC on December 08, 2010, 09:41:10 PM
I'm trying to finish my Level III professional Development requirements in time for me to attend the Region Staff College in Mid 2011.  I need to attend another conference to complete the requirements.  With the new year coming and trying to look at multiple wing websites, most of which are not updated and/or they haven't announced a date for Upcoming Conferences.  There is no central location to look up conference dates.  Can those of you in the know, please post the wing/region level conferences that have been announced and where it's located.  Thanks

It is past my window...but I still appreciate it.  I am willing to travel because I have family spread out all over the place and this would give me an excuse to see some family in California.

I got sent a CAP calendar for 2010 that had the dates of quite a few wing conferences (didn't have mine) in it.  Don't know if they'll do it again for 2011.

Being from South GA, I am not sure. Last year, heading to the conference (same place) driving up I-75 around 10 AM. Took me a little over an hour to get past ATL.

    Or you can buy a Knight's of Columbus hat and remove the insignia
