In addition to these distinguished speakers, we also will feature numerous engaging sessions including our ever-popular statistics workshops, teaching conference and conversation hours. As always, we have a full program of CE available. Other notable highlights of WPA include yoga classes and opportunities to engage in mindfulness and gratitude exercises. In another first, we will engage community service project, partnering with a local San Francisco non-profit this year, Project Open Hand, serving clients with chronic health issues through nutrition and education. This activity will occur during the convention.
