Find Your WRPA Network

Connect with Professionals Who Do the Same Work You Do

WRPA has several dedicated groups or "Networks" that meet on a regular basis and communicate online. These networks provide WRPA members with the opportunity to make personal, ongoing connections with other professionals. By joining a network and using the online platform, you too can increase your passion for the work you do every day.

Does your network have an upcoming event?

To effectively market your network event, the WRPA office will need all your event information 2 months prior to the event. Incomplete information will delay the publishing of the event webpage and registration form. Submit final, ready-to-publish copy—no drafts. Please allow a week for the webpage and form to be drafted. Office staff will manage event marketing with a volunteer lead, taking into consideration other WRPA marketing. Please review the steps below to get started:

  • Download the WRPA Event + Budget form
  • Review all items needed before submitting
  • Fill out the form in its entirety, including your estimated budget*
  • Send the completed form to the WRPA Office for approval
  • You will then be contacted about the approval and the WRPA office will post, market, and build out your registration form

*Every Network event is subject to a project fee, which will need to be allocated in your expenses. Review our project fee page if you are interested in additional services for your network event.

WRPA E-Lists

What Is an E-List?

Similar to a group chat, an e-list allows you to easily and conveniently collaborate with others in your field of work, etc. via a group email. WRPA Network E-List access is a WRPA member-only benefit.

Once you're subscribed, you can start discussions, ask questions, and get to know your fellow professionals.

Anyone subscribed to the e-list can start a discussion via email, and responses will go to all. No login is required! 

How to Join an E-List

  • Log into your profile 
  • Hover over "My Features" in the top menu bar and select "E-Lists"
  • The e-lists page displays any e-lists you are eligible to join. From this page, you can subscribe to or unsubscribe from any of the lists
  • The "Subscribed" toggle adds or removes you from the e-list
    • The "Email Delivery" toggle turns on or off email delivery of all e-list messages. The recommended setting is ON. If you turn this off, you will have to log in to your WRPA profile and click into each e-list to view new messages
    • You can select the e-list name to view a summary of all messages that have been sent to the list
