Dear WAVES Member,

I would like to take this time to update you on recent happenings with the WAVES Board. Effective Nov 4, 2021,  I resigned as President of WAVES.  I accepted a position with the Washington Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board.  My new position is still related to the administration of veteran education benefits, but I am no longer a school certifying official nor do a represent a school.

The by-laws of WAVES state that in the event the current President is not able to fulfill the duties that the First Vice-President will assume the role as President.  Tracy Copeland was serving as First-Vice President and has already transitioned to President.  He and the remaining members will continue the planning for the 2022 Conference in Portland, Oregon. They are:

2022 is an election year, if you are interested in serving on the board you may reach out to any of the board members.

In my new position, I will be able to attend WAVES so I will still be seeing you!

Best of luck to you and stay safe.
