Contract Administration Subcommittee (CASC)

2016 CASC Workshops

Workshops are usually held in four locations: Everett, Renton, Yakima, and Camas. Be sure to register for only one location. If the class is filled at the location of your choice, try the other location.
CASC Workshops are almost always free. Because workshops fill up quickly, we ask that you not register for a given workshop unless you absolutely plan to attend.
