Save the Date – PNWAER Spring Conference

Good Morning,

PNWAER Board of Directors is excited to announce our spring conference officially. March 16-18, 2023, professionals from around the state will gather for our Collaboration, Innovation, and Beyond PNWAER Spring Conference at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick, Washington.

We look forward to connecting in person for the first time since 2019. We have a lot of ideas to make this conference special but also need your input. Please take a few minutes to fill out our survey with your thoughts and wants for conference presenters and sessions. We will use this information to provide the best possible conference for our state. https://forms.gle/fNcWVjXa4K1JFRcp9

Thank you for your time, and we look forward to seeing you in March. If you have not joined AER yet, you may want to consider it, as there is a discount for conference attendees and many professional opportunities as a member. AER Membership

Hello Eve,

PNW AER would like to create a job board hosted on our website for anyone to access throughout the year at their convenience. We know that postings in our field happen regularly, and to keep them all in one place, we created a form to keep track of submissions.
If you have an opening that you would like featured on PNW AER’s website, please fill out this form at any time throughout the year.

Here is the form: https://forms.gle/bsyxKVMaAb9ub9BR6

If you have posted on Eve in the last few weeks, please submit the form so we can keep track of positions in an organized system.

Thank you,

Happy September!

Hello PNW AER Membership,

We hope this email finds you well. We have many exciting updates for our chapter and would like to take this opportunity to share them with you.

We have updated our PNW AER bylaws, which were voted on and approved at our September board meeting. You can view the updated bylaws here or on our website.

We have updated our Mini-Grant Application and Guidelines to better reflect our commitment to serving vision professionals in their career development. The guidelines and application can be found on our website here.

Our website has had a mini makeover; feel free to check our drop-down menu in our About section! It now has the updated Board Members with bios, our bylaws, a job board posting, a submission page, and a vision resource page.
