WEFMAX is unlike any other meeting providing the members of the House of Delegates, MA Leaders, and WEF Staff an opportunity to meet, discuss challenges, and share successes.  The WEFMAX meeting in Anchorage is unique in that the meeting time frame is different from the other WEFMAX meetings being held in 2008.  This meeting will be held concurrent with and towards the end of AWWMA's annual conference. This meeting falls within the Mothers Day weekend and will adjourn on Friday, May 9 at 5:00 PM.  This will allow WEFMAX attendees the opportunity to catch flights back in time to celebrate Mothers Day. For those choosing to stay over, it is an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful sites of Alaska.

Meet WEF Vice President Paul Freedman and WEF House of Delegates Speaker Deborah Houdeshell at this meeting.  Please take a moment to get to know your WEF Leadership prior to attending.

Registration is complimentary for all attendees.  The meeting schedule and information on hotel accommodations, airport transfers and points of interest are provided below.
