By WEAC Education Support Professionals (ESP) Committee

The WEAC Education Support Professional (ESP) blog is a place where everyone—ESP or not—can stay informed and stay connected. WEAC ESP members can use this space to write about who they are and what they are thinking, and to find out more about what is new in the ESP world.

That means we need you to freely share your comments on the blog posts. Or suggest a topic for us to blog about. Or become a member blogger yourself. Tell WEAC ESP Coordinator Kim Wiemer Noyce you are interested by emailing her at wiemernoycek@weac.org.

This blog is housed on the www.weac.org ESP landing page. Here, you can also find resources such as the WEAC ESP Handbook, learn more about the WEAC ESP Certificate and professional development, and stay connected with other ESP local activities.

The ESP Blog is a forum where we can share information about opportunities for personal or professional growth, discuss actions that we can take to improve public education or our union, or share a story or quote to help connect us all.

This week we would like to encourage you to attend the 2009 WEAC Convention. The WEAC Convention offers personal and professional growth sessions throughout each day and hosts an exhibit hall full of education-related booths. The WEAC Convention features ESP-specific sessions and some are even available for WEAC Professional Development Academy ESP Certificate credit.

The WEAC Convention is October 29-30 in Milwaukee. We look forward to seeing you there!
