PFR attorneys are frequently called upon to speak at meetings, conferences, and workshops sponsored by regional and statewide education organizations. We also partner with our clients to provide school law content tailored to a specific district’s need. The list below includes those speaking engagements we currently have scheduled, as well as any workshops we are sponsoring or hosting on our own. Please feel free to contact any of the attorneys at Porter Foster Rorick about speaking opportunities or email us at info@pfrwa.com if you have any questions about our professional development opportunities.
