2024 CLA New Directors Training
Amelia Island, FL
December 8-9
The New Directors Training is tailored for those serving as DOC directors, commissioners, or secretaries for under a year or who have not yet taken part in a previous New Directors Training. However, all DOC directors are invited to join, regardless of their time in the role. CLA Associates, former DOC directors, are welcome to attend, but corporate partners are excluded from the meetings. Gold partners may participate in social events such as meals and receptions, though access to the sessions is restricted.
