Dear [Insert Supervisor’s Name]:

I would like to attend the 2023 Higher Education Web Professionals Association (HighEdWeb) Annual Conference this Oct. 8-11 in Buffalo, NY, and I am writing to ask for your approval and support.

It offers smart, detailed and diverse sessions that address the challenges and opportunities we face every day.

The HighEdWeb 2023 Annual Conference comes at a crucial point for our industry, as we continue to apply lessons from the last three years to our increasingly in-person world.
