CONFERENCE ATTIRE & BANQUET INFO

Conference & event attire is business casual.  We recommend dressing in layers as March can be unpredictable.  The annual banquet will be a classy event - cocktail party attire is appropriate. 

AUCTION NIGHT

Included in Wednesday night’s dinner festivities, we’ll have an onsite event with fundraising activities including a live auction.  Please consider picking up an auction item to donate and help replenish WMCA’s scholarship fund!

All proceeds from the raffles & auction items are used for scholarships to attend the WMCA and IIMC annual conferences, the Northwest Clerks Institute & Master Academy trainings.  Make sure to buy a few tickets and support our clerks' professional development!
