Our speaker\, Deb Reid\, will guide us through the day with a presentation entitled “Embracing Grace: A Day for You.” This day is meant to incorporate connection\, learning\, and rest to help you re-charge.

WiFCC staff will provide you with a certificate of attendance (3 hours) for ongoing education documentation\, if needed.

A link to this group rate will be provided in your registration confirmation email. To receive the group rate all rooms MUST be booked by Friday\, March 20\, 2026. After this date\, the group room block is released to the general public and you will no longer have access to the special group rate.
