“In Our Hands” is our new book club, and we have yet to choose our first book. We are still in the process of coordinating our first book club event. Be sure to keep an eye on this page for more details.
We plan to select our first book at the start of September and hold our initial virtual meeting on the final Friday of September. We are excited to have you join us soon.
This exciting professional development program is FREE and only for ASLTA members.
