Workshop Information Overview |

| Workshop Description | Each workshop series will have two speakers chosen by USLCA, and one regional presenter chosen by the local organization. This will allow the region of the country the workshop is in to have a local speaker talk about what is happening in that community, but also allow for some consistency for each workshop.
The USLCA Professional Development Coordinator will be present at each workshop to insure continuity and consistency from workshop planning to execution. Assuming the location is donated, USLCA will provide breakfast and lunch to attendees. Depending on the need, this could considered an add-on at registration. USLCA will also fund national speaker fees for each workshop, travel expenses, and lodging for the speakers and the Professional Development Coordinator. A minimum of 60 attendees for each workshop is required.
