The ELA is incredibly grateful we were able to host an in person global membership conference in May 2022. Feedback from our members was that this was the best conference yet! A huge thank you to our host firm Hirschfeld Kraemer, our conference co-hosts, Steve Hirschfeld (California) and Jackie Kugell (Massachusetts) and the entire event planning committee for all of your efforts to make this a memorable experience. It was wonderful to see so many of our friends from around the world together again and we look forward to doing it again in 2023!
For all who attended, please be on the lookout for an email the week of July 4 that will include a post-conference feedback survey. We appreciate your feedback!
