From 1987 to 2003, the number of the conference listed on the program is incorrect by one year. For examples, since the organization began with the first conference, the nineteenth annual conference occurred in the eighteenth year. The correct numbering is listed here.
54th Annual Conference
April 21-24
Ayres Hotel, Costa Mesa CA
2022 Conference Program (PDF)
53rd Annual Conference
Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 meeting was the first-ever fully online conference for WAWH. Thanks to president Ula Taylor’s leadership, we secured access to an online platform called Nooks. Nooks, pictured above, worked very well for our needs. The meeting featured seven sessions, including panels, roundtables, and mentoring pods. Scores of participants attended from across the U.S. and a few internationally as well. Check out the 2021 Conference Program.
52nd Annual Conference
The spread of COVID-19 in the United States has lead some universities and academic communities to cancel classes, conferences, and other in-person gatherings where the virus may spread. Some universities are also beginning to restrict or limit faculty and student travel, and individuals may be wary of traveling at this time.
WAWH’s Executive Board met this afternoon regarding COVID-19 and our April 2020 conference. We have decided to cancel the conference.
We will be holding our 2021 conference at the same location, the Ayres Hotel in Costa Mesa, CA, in April 2021 (specific dates to be announced).
I am sure you have many questions about the consequences of this decision for the conference program, registration payments, hotel reservations, and awards and prizes; our Executive Director, Sarah Gold McBride, will follow up in the next few days with more detailed information about all of these issues.
We are so grateful to you for your patience and understanding as we make this difficult decision and figure out our next steps as an organization.
Thank you, and take care,
Ula Taylor
President, WAWH
