Katrina Taylor, WA-IARP President 

The WA IARP Board regrets to inform you that we will no longer be holding part two of the upcoming Vocational Recovery Workshop regarding ethics scheduled for 3/17/2021 due to unforeseen circumstances. Unfortunately, the key presenter will no longer be available during this time due to a sudden and urgent health matter with a family member.

Given that we already requested CEUs for this event, we felt it would be too challenging to fill this spot within a few weeks’ time. Please know that we will still be holding part one of the Vocational Recovery Workshop on 3/16/2021, focusing on behavioral health interventions, as planned (from 10:00 to 11:30 AM Pacific time). If you have already registered for this event in full, please know that we will keep track of your registration for part two so you do not have to register when this becomes available. We hope to figure out part two very soon and will send out details as soon as we are able.

If you would prefer to receive a reimbursement, please reach out to me directly at: ktaylor@eastsidevocational.com.

To those who have not yet registered, just a reminder that registration is still open through March 14th.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you to those of you who registered, as we are excited to have you joining us on March 16^th!

Katrina Taylor, WA-IARP President
