We need your help! Here are a few ways you can have input as we move forward…
Speaker’s Bureau
WPA knows how difficult it can be to attain qualified speakers for your group, so we are working to build a Speaker’s Bureau! We have many wonderful speaker resources, as you have experienced at our annual Symposium and other education programs, who come to us through our Medical Advisory Committee and other partnerships around the state. Yet we know there is still a great need for speakers in all regions on a variety of topics yet to be addressed, so we are interested in gathering contact information for those we do not currently have on file.
- Help us compile a speakers list! Please send Laurie the name and contact information for 1 or 2 well-received speakers at your group.
- Share interesting topics! Send Laurie ideas on topics your members want to learn more about. We will share the list of topics and speakers in an upcoming newsletter.
Local Resource Directories
One of our goals in supporting the Parkinson community is to provide a list of resources for a variety of needs specific to each county. We are building a directory for each area – and we need your help!
- Share your resources! Share resources about the local organizations you have partnered with for your group’s needs. This could be resources for local durable medical equipment like walkers, or legal assistance information such as wills and estate planning – and everything in between! Send your ideas to Laurie.
Attendance Sheets
Make taking attendance a lot easier! Download an attendance template HERE. This sheet can be helpful for you, and also for WPA! Many of your members have already registered on our website to receive information on WPA happenings like educational programs, current updates and more, but some have not, or don’t have access to email.
- Help your members get involved! Send these completed attendance sheets to Laurie and we will make sure they are getting information and news to help manage their Parkinson’s and other concerns.
