Welcome to the new WEHA website! We've re-organized the website to make sure you can get the information you're looking for quickly and easily. The News page will always list the very latest happenings around WEHA. The Events page will let you know at a glance about upcoming conferences and educational opportunities. The About page has been condensed so most of the information is contained on a single page with only a few topics needing a seperate page. Of course the Employment Watch page is easily accessible from anywhere on the site.  Have a look around, and please be sure to come back often.
