Convention Overview
Western District Convention (WDC) 2010 will be held March 26th-28th at the Marriott University Park in Tucson, AZ. It will contain keynote speakers, workshops, reading band, ritual, and most importantly (the reason why we go to convention!) we will conduct business, induct new District officers, and modify the constitutions as we see fit. This year's theme will be..... duh duh duh!!!!!!!! To Be Announced! You can expect to see National and District Officers all of whom can help answer any questions you may have and are there to guide you through this wonderful event. WDC serves not only to be the center of all business/committee meetings once every year, but an opportunity to interact and get to know your brothers and sisters in the bond. And, we can't think of a better place to do this than sunny Tucson, Arizona!
