Help support the JWHA Silent Auction!
Most conference attendees enjoy the silent auction JWHA hosts during its annual conference.
To make the event successful donated items are needed for the auction tables.
JWHA encourages each person attending the conference to bring at least one item for the auction. Books are popular, but new and unique items greatly help add interest and increase participation. And consider donating a service, such as a private tour or special research hours at your institution.
Completion of the linked form helps us prepare the auction in advance. As the conference draws near, you will receive an e-mail with additional information and instructions for delivery of your donation.
