What they're saying about the conference
|
"I am impressed by the level of commitment demonstrated by the board and by the quality of offerings the workshops offered. Meeting many of you there and hearing how you have created your businesses with integrity and caring for your clients was truly educational and inspiring. What a privilege to be a part of this organization. Thank you so much."--Maureen McCready"The classes were really good and I was glad that they were mostly presented by attorneys because the hand-outs we got from them can be disseminated to our clients The conference was wonderful and really helped in the running of my business as well as getting the word out as to what an LDA does. Thanks again for a great conference!!!"---Liz Fleischer
"The conference at Asilomar last weekend was great! The classes were informative and the speakers were funny, personable and so knowledgeable. It was wonderful to see people that help me throughout the year. Connie Crockett did an amazing job! Thanks to her, Marcel, Carol, Carl and the entire board."
