With our 2022 season about to begin, your LADA Board is working to assemble a schedule of Virtual Learning Opportunities for you to enjoy, engage, and connect!


At this time, we are planning to host our events virtually, as the current health climate continues to prohibit in-person gatherings as were previously done, but plan to have some in-person meetings later in the season! We will be sending out information on how to join in on these virtual meetings soon!

​Please stay tuned for updates on our topics for this season's CEU's, as well as focus points for our networking opportunities! 


Thank You!
