Welcome to the Registrars Committee Western Region website

Since 1979, the RC-WR has cooperated with the RC-AAM in advocating for the profession of Registrars and Collections Managers across the states of Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Through formal activities such as workshops and specialized training, published resources found in our Media Library and newsletter, Registrars’ Quarterly, and personal relationships made through annual business meetings and conferences, the RC-WR promotes high standards and best practices in registration. This website is your entry point to accessing these valuable resources. Join the RC-WR and be part of the largest and most active regional registrars’ committee in the United States.
