It is important that you understand our plans for convention as well as your registration options in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There will be a 2023 WBCA Convention. Registrations fees must be paid in full at the time of registration. A $160 non-refundable fee is included in the registration price for members, which will cover a virtual convention if it becomes necessary to cancel the in-person event. Please note that the WBCA has every intention of holding an in-person convention in Dallas.

**You must be a member of the WBCA to register to attend convention.
