Dear [Supervisor’s Name],

I would like to attend the AAWCC Oregon Annual Conference to be held May 8-9 in Salem, Oregon. This professional development opportunity is designed for women interested in leadership, as well as personal and professional growth.

The Oregon Chapter of the American Association of Women in Community College (Oregon AAWCC) is affiliated with the National AAWCC, a council of AACC, dedicated to equality, equity, and excellence for women. Oregon AAWCC is an organization developed by Oregon women in community colleges for anyone who supports the mission of Oregon AAWCC, to inspire, champion, and celebrate the talents within each of us. AAWCC encourages professional development for women in community colleges, supports women in leadership roles, develops communication among women, promotes and offers local and state workshops, and disseminates information on courses, programs, and services for professional women.

This year’s conference, Belonging Centered Leadership: A Transformative Journey, will provide multiple opportunities such as:

  • Access to peer-to-peer learning communities
  • Three conference tracks: Leadership, Communication, and Belonging
  • Networking and mentorship
  • See the conference schedule

This two-day event is offered for an early bird rate of $150 until April 18, 2025, and a regular price of $165 after. Attendance will provide me with multiple opportunities to gather valuable resources, connections, and knowledge that will support me in my professional and personal growth. I am asking for your support of my attendance.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
