6th Annual LAMDA CLA Mental Health Conference Feb 20 2021

Posted on January 17, 2021 by Anita Szigeti

This is going to be a fabulous, unique, informative and entertaining event.

I expect we will get a lot of CPD bang for our buck. Check out the Agenda and

Register here for $45 as a LAMDA or CLA member…., which is basically nothing.

Next, Some incredible updates:

We have about 85 registered so far, which is huge, considering there are 4.5 weeks left and most people leave it to the end of the day….

What’s even cooler is all the Platinum and Gold sponsorships have sold out which means thousands of dollars in funding, as well as the 11 spots secured by LAMDA members for our junior and student members who get to go for free.


Lexis Nexis has generously offered six free book give-aways and I believe we are also getting 15% off all my titles for the event.

There is one remaining category of Sponsorship Available that I think will be very worthwhile in terms of the advertising /exposure for relatively little $$ outlay:

Recent Call Support:

  • Five opportunities at $300 each
  • Company name on website
  • Recognition in opening and closing remarks
  • Company name at bottom of Virtual Hub Page
  • Five complimentary registrations extended to CLA member recent calls (called in 2014 or after) to be extended by draw by the CLA office.
