On behalf of the officers
and Executive Council of WSCA, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to our
72st annual convention here at this beautiful resort. Our WSCA convention is a time for us as teachers and scholars to
do things that we cannot often do in our busy professional lives-- share
current knowledge about communication, learn from the best and brightest in our
discipline, reflect on what we study and teach,
connect with our academic friends and colleagues, talk, eat, and even dance together! For those of us who have been WSCA members for a long time, the WSCA convention is among our favorite times of the year!
For those of you who are new
to WSCA, I extend a warm welcome!
Please join us at the Newcomer's Reception Saturday 4:15 PM, and come
along to the convention kickoff events, including our WSCA "Great Town
Hall Debate" (always a fun affair) and reception. WSCA has a long history
of welcoming new members and encouraging new scholars. I look forward to meeting you!
President Elect Sandra
Petronio has planned a wonderful program for us all, based on her theme of
"Translating Scholarship into Practice." She has lined up a compelling preconference on this theme, as
well as many different workshops for Saturday. We are so fortunate to have Dr.
Irwin Altman joining us Sunday 10:00 AM as our keynote speaker on the
convention theme. Look for programs highlighting teaching and spotlights on the
work on scholars who have made a difference.
Local Host Betsy W. Bach and
her colleagues have lined up many events for our pleasure. Among these are sleigh rides, visits to the
spa, and our traditional WSCA Sock Hop on Sunday Evening. Enjoy all of the amenities of this lovely
resort and natural beauty of the local area.
In fact, we encourage you to return to Coeur d'Alene in April for the
Northwest Communication Association meeting!
Please join in on the
workings of the association. Attend
business meetings in your areas. Volunteer for a committee, or consider serving
in a leadership capacity. The success of our organization depends on each of
us. Finally, please do attend our
Convention Luncheon on Monday as we highlight the traditions and future of
WSCA.
It has been my pleasure to
serve as your President. WSCA is my
academic home and I treasure my time leading our organization. I see a bright future for us as a discipline
and association. Thank you for joining us!
Have a wonderful, fruitful, and fun convention!
Warmly,
Dawn O. Braithwaite,
President
