Please join LLAW in welcoming speaker Patrick “PC” Sweeney at our first quarterly business meeting. Advocacy is essential to making a difference for the legal information profession. This training will teach you skills to advocate for public policy issues. You will learn how to build effective partnerships and influence lawmakers while contributing to solutions for current information policy issues. This is an especially important time to learn or refresh these skills.

 

The LLAW 1st Quarterly Business Meeting will follow. Register now for the First Quarterly Business Meeting
