We would love your ideas for clock hours we could offer free to members!

We are looking for:
- Existing Professional Development (for example Online Conferences) that you think we would fit our council mission. We would like to review for Washington State Clock Hours and could offer free for members.

–Members who would like support in presenting learning to their peers via Zoom on a state-wide level

-In person / Regional events, such as Math Circles or Pints and Problems, that you would be interested in having in your region
