Membership Benefits
In addition to its Annual and Mid-Year Meetings, ACLEA serves its members in several important ways. All members are encouraged to suggest improvements in these services or additional services by contacting the Executive Director, The Member Services Committee Co-Chairs, or any member of the Executive Committee.
Educational Programs
Twice each year, ACLEA sponsors educational meetings for members. The Annual Meeting is held in July/August and the Mid-Year Meeting in January/February each year. The three-day meetings focus on every aspect of CLE planning, production, economics, publications and marketing. In addition, new members have special orientation and educational programming. The ACLEA Executive Committee deliberates at each meeting and a business meeting for all members addresses organizational issues.
Information on all educational opportunities, including downloadable brochures and on-line registration is available online at http://www.aclea.org/conferences.html.
Meetings are held in attractive locations such as San Francisco, Scottsdale, San Diego, New Orleans, Hawaii, Boston, and Vancouver. They offer great opportunities to network with your peers. Comprehensive course materials are a part of every meeting.
Help Network
If your operation is new or facing a particularly challenging situation, consult with an ACLEA member by phone, in person, via e-mail, or post your questions on the listserv. For a more extensive review of your operation, you can request an onsite audit by one or more senior ACLEA members. Don't hesitate to take advantage of professional guidance from your colleagues!
