33rd Annual ILA Convention
March 22-24, 2012
We ARE Listening: Advocate, Research, Educate
The convention format is slightly changed from the last few years. We will host any extra, pre-convention sessions, site seeing and social gatherings on Wednesday and Thursday. Break out sessions and committee meetings will be scheduled for Friday and Saturday only. This is a 2 day convention; we do not have a "free afternoon" on Friday scheduled into the program.
A kick off reception will be held Thursday evening. The convention framework is available at this link: Convention Framework A full schedule will be available in March.
As you make your plans, please remember when you arrive at Sea-Tac airport, you will need to make arrangements for travel to Bremerton. Details available at this link: Bremerton Transportation
