To invite Association member institutions to host the Annual Conference and Exposition (WACE), Southern SLD, Northern SLD, Central SLD, Island SLD, Western Training Institute, and Pacific Management Institute. Bids for WACE will be made two years in advance. Consideration for the location of the Annual Conference should be based on factors that could positively correlate with member attendance and engagement. The strongest consideration should be given to the physical and financial accessibility of the conference location. Attention should also be given to rotation of the location throughout the regions and overall appeal of the area surrounding the conference site.
