WPA Annual Meeting Pivots to New Date in April

What ' s better than Palm Springs in January ? That would be Palm Springs in April , with warmer weather and negligible chance of rain .
What ' s even better than Palm Springs in January ? That would be , of course , Palm Springs in April ! With Covid-19 vaccines in sight and the promise for a return to normalcy , the WPA Board has made the decision to move the January 2021 Annual Meeting to April 16-20 , 2021 . Get braced for some inspiring weather , with an average April high of 84 degrees and monthly precipitation of 0.11 inches . That translates into 0.5 rainy days per month !
Dave Sweitzer , WPA Executive Vice-President , sends this message to members :
WPA Members and Friends ,
After considerable discussion and deliberation of the current COVID-19 statistics , your WPA Board of Directors has made the decision to reschedule the 2021 Annual Meeting to April 16-20 , 2021 . With regard to everyone ’ s health , it seems prudent to postpone this fantastic event with the hope that we can all meet together in April at RLP . It was not going to be possible in January with all of the government restrictions . We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you . We are committed to making the April annual meeting the best yet .
