I want to welcome you to the WASSA website. WASSA is a network of summer session administrators in the Western region. Our strength as an organization comes from our members. Our membership is a supportive group of colleagues who gather once a year for an annual conference. But our collegiality extends beyond those few days together; members often contact each other to discuss ideas, ask for assistance with a problem, or gather statistics on a common issue. We truly are colleagues and friends, and I hope if you are new to summer sessions or haven’t attended a WASSA conference, that you will contact me regarding membership or attendance. I believe WASSA will greatly benefit your summer programming. The executive committee recently met in Laguna Beach California at the Surf and Sand Resort to plan the 2010 conference. I’m very excited about this conference. On one level, our location could not be more amazing: right on the beach. But more importantly, I’m excited about the content of the conference. The committee came together with interesting and relevant ideas and with great speakers. Since then Kerri Garcia, the President-elect, has been hard at work building a schedule of valuable sessions. I believe this will be an outstanding conference, and I hope to see you there.  Dana Dudley, Ph.D. President, WASSA Pepperdine University
