Calendar and Speakers Directory

Are you letting AALL members know about your upcoming events?  Please include information about your business meetings, continuing education programs, and any other relevant events into the AALL Calendar of Events.  The calendar allows members to find out what upcoming events the Board, chapters, SIS's, committees, and caucuses are putting on.  If you have any suggestions or comments about the calendar, please send them to Julie Pabarja, Chair of CPE, at Julie.pabarja@dlapiper.com.

Did you know that AALL has a speakers directory?  The AALL Speakers Directory is a member driven database that can help members locate speakers on a particular topic.  Members are encouraged to identify themselves or other AALL members as potential speakers on a topic.  The Continuing Professional Education committee is looking for suggestions on how to improve the content of this database and how to make it easier for members to use.  Please send your comments or suggestions Julie Pabarja, Chair of CPE, at Julie.pabarja@dlapiper.com.
