<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904">It came to the attention of Jennifer and Robert this week that the statewide TRIO organization (WSTA) has planned their annual conference on the same days as
the WSSSC conference. I reached out to their leadership to see if they have flexibility in their dates so that TRIO professionals in our system could attend both events. They are wondering what the impact is to WSSSC attendance.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28251279"><span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk28247904">My numbers may be a little off, but it looks like our system has about 22 colleges with some sort of TRIO programming. I am trying to ascertain how many colleges/TRIO
staff you all planned to send to the WSSSC conference? I’ll convey this info in my response to their leadership. Thanks in advance for your quick reply.
