NWATA Symposium
Travel & Housing Cost Sharing Survey
As discussed at our last IATA Summer Meeting, the association's Early Professionals Committee Chair - Katie Berglund has come up with a brilliant idea! With the recent opening of the NWATA housing, Katie wants to connect Idaho ATs who are able to go to the conference but may need somewhere to stay or an Idaho AT who has room for another AT to stay with them, this does include travel as well!
