Education and networking were in full swing at the 132nd CLLA National Convention! Wednesday began with Legislative Forum and featured an exclusive New Member event followed by a lively Welcome Reception. Great to see so many colleagues catching up and making new connections!
Thursday at the 132nd CLLA National Convention was all about professional growth, featuring a full slate of educational sessions designed to sharpen our industry edge. Beyond the classroom, our networking breaks and luncheons provided the perfect forum for collaborative discussions and strengthening partnerships. Another productive day in the books!
After a packed day of education on Thursday at the 132nd CLLA Convention, attendees wound down with some friendly competition at the CLLA Feud Game and a lively networking reception. The night wrapped up in style, complete with a crowd-pleasing Cannoli Boy, with everyone hitting the floor for a karaoke and dance party.
Friday, the final day of the 132nd CLLA National Convention, opened with a robust lineup of educational sessions, followed by the Annual Luncheon. The luncheon featured the swearing-in of the association’s new leadership and the presentation of annual awards. A special congratulations goes to Gilbert Singer, the distinguished recipient of this year’s prestigious President’s Cup Award!
Great fun was had by all on the optional activity, the Chicago Pizza Tour.
