WSPA this Week, November 28-December 2, 2022

Hello everyone, I hope you had a restful and enjoyable Holiday last week. With the new rules going into effect for minimum wage and overtime for professional exemptions starting January 1, 2023 we scrambled and put together a webinar hosted by Lorraine Wilson of Porter, Foster, and Rorick December 14, 2022. You can read all about it HERE and register on the link provided.
As you can see with our Upcoming Events below we are busy creating and making available several Professional Development opportunities for you. Please check them out and take part in them. Here is a reminder that the Randy Hathaway Scholarship and Fellowships are open for our members to apply.
Member Request this week:
Name: David Forsythe

We are looking at tuition reimbursement system for staff who are taking classes to get tuition paid for (with limits). Does anyone have a program in place or a process/matrix for a tuition reimbursement program including how to objectively select staff if you have more requests than funding?
Thanks,
David
