<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Budgets are tight, so maybe joining SWASFAA isn’t a possibility for this fiscal year. If that is the case, there is a non-member conference registration. For an additional
fee, a non—member can attend the conference and participate in all the learning sessions and activities. If you’ve considered becoming a SWASFAA member, but haven’t done so, attending the conference, we hope will be encouragement to join in 2017.
