Celebrating 50 Years!

Wow, can you believe it? WATG is going to be celebrating our 50th anniversary at next year’s conference.  

We’ve begun planning for our big milestone. This past month we had our first 50th Anniversary Committee meeting.The group is working on making a splash at next year’s conference.They may even have a few surprises at this year’s fall conference October 2-4. We are pumped up and hope you will be too!

When a person reaches the age of 50, they might be starting to think about slowing down.  Maybe they have an empty nest. Perhaps they are starting to look forward to retirement. Well, we aren’t slowing down!  We’ve accomplished a lot in the last 50 years, but we have a list of things we still need to do. Our vision continues as we strive for an environment in which the educational and social emotional needs of gifted students are understood and addressed throughout the state. WATG marches forward with our mission to educate about and advocate for the needs of the gifted in Wisconsin.

Join us at our annual fall conference, #WATG22, on October 2-4 and then commit to joining us on our 50th anniversary in 2023. You aren’t slowing down and neither are we!
