Like the ever-flowing and powerful rivers of Washington, WA IARP is excited to converge for our Fall 2023 conference at the south end’s hidden gem, Green River Conference & Event Center.
Join us for amazing conversations on foundational building blocks of communication and listening deeply; how to effectively communicate and navigate through an H-2A Temporary Agricultural Visa claim; conversations with injured workers about their experiences and helpful communication during their claim; how Artificial Intelligence affects the vocational rehabilitation field and possible ethical considerations... and so much more!
The conference will take place from 8:00AM to 4:15PM at the Green River College Conference & Event Center. Breakfast, lunch, snacks, and coffee will be included. Come join us as we Converge and Communicate, Stronger! CEUs will be offered for both CDMS and CRC.
Gardiant Works will be sponsoring a free cocktail party the evening prior to the conference on 10/12/2023 from 6:00PM to 8:00PM – don’t miss this fun opportunity to enjoy dinner, live music, network, and connect with friends and colleagues!
