Networking at the LFA Retreat

Networking is a critical component of the LFA Retreat experience, and ALA provides plenty of opportunities to interact with your large-firm peers. Each meal and break is a time for you to ask business questions of colleagues and sponsors, as well as meet new people with their own experiences to share.
