2010 Workshop and Fall Meeting |
|
|
|
The WDCA is proud to announce the 2010 Workshop and Fall Meeting.
The Workshop and Fall meeting are scheduled for Saturday, September 11th at West Bend East High School. (1305 East Decorah Road / West Bend, WI 53095-4399).
The invitation, along with a schedule and registration form can be viewed here.
President-Elect and West Bend Coach Doris Sexton has developed a rigorous workshop schedule for debaters of all levels. The fall meeting is scheduled to take place during the workshop. We have carefully scheduled events to ensure that all coaches can attend the meeting, while their students continue participating in workshop events. This should be a great opportunity for your students, so please consider attending. If you have questions regarding the workshop, please contact Doris. Are you a new debate coach? If so, then you should attend this meeting to meet colleagues and to take advantage of the the resources the organization has to offer. Two items that will be available at the meeting include: the 2010 Novice Policy Debate Evidence Packet in CD format and the new, revised Judging Handbook. Other items regarding the Fall Meeting will be posted to the WDCA website, as they are made available.
Effective for the 2010 Debate Season, tournament hosts must be present at the Fall Meeting to verify that they are planning to host their event and have secured their building for their planned weekend. If a school does not send a representative to the meeting, they will not have an official WDCA sanctioned tournament. An email saying you plan to host is not acceptable. Some one must represent your school at the meeting. |
