2011 Newsletters Available now!

At the 2010 SWPBA business meeting it was decided that the newsletter take on a new format. In this format, instead of preparing updates/highlights for your state 3 times each year, only one Newsletter will be produced each year. This would increase interest and traffic on the website, as well as cut down on the amount of work our main contacts for each state have to do throughout the year.

Your section of the newsletter can contain content in various formats. Please feel free to include pictures (interesting sites or SWPBA members at work), maps, bulleted highlights, etc. Contact Kim Sparks or Debbie Arnwine to uploaded Newsletters to the website. A notice will be sent to state contacts to make them aware of the update so everyone can see our newsletters.
