Recent Webinar
On February 13, 2024, the GLSAA sponsored a virtual address on Valentine's Day Traditions in Boston, given by noted author Anthony Sammarco.
The post-webinar survey showed that 100% were Satisfied/Very Satisfied with the topic, content, and speaker, and that 100% would likely attend another GLSAA webinar. Thank you all for your participation and your ideas about future events.
