BACK TO BASICS

Thank You

Thank you to all our outstanding speakers and dedicated attendees for making the annual CLLA Eastern Region Conference in New York City a resounding success!

From insightful educational sessions led by our expert speakers to engaging networking events—including our kickoff pizza-making experience, joint breakfasts, and luncheon—the energy and collaboration throughout the event were truly inspiring. A special congratulations to our incoming Chair, Valerie Ingold, and to this year’s Warren Pinchuck Service Award recipient, Marc Wallick.

Your active participation, shared expertise, and commitment to building strong industry relationships are what make the CLLA community thrive. We hope you returned home with valuable practical insights, meaningful new connections, and renewed enthusiasm for our shared work.
