LERA 72nd Annual Meeting, June 13-16, 2020, (Sat.-Tues.), Virtual
Social, Economic, and Environmental Register HereVirtual Conference PlatformRegistration • Program • Student Consortium • Jr. Faculty Consortium For the first time, LERA will meet virtually in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although we will miss out on many of the one-of-a-kind conference experiences, this format will open doors for those who have not been able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Our session organizers are currently adjusting their session format and planning new and creative ways to meet, share, and connect. The conference will still take place over the same four-day span, but some of the program schedule may change to accommodate meeting online. Conference registration has been reduced to less than half of the original price when the event was planned to take place in Portland, Oregon. We invite you to join in, and bring your co-workers ... even if, or especially if, you have never been able to attend in the past! We are currently building new tools that will assist us in connecting online (discussion boards, virtual libraries, connection platforms) that will help us to continue to network with each other, share up-to-date research and best practices from top professionals and scholars. Meet other managers, union leaders, researchers, and public policy and agency staff from throughout the U.S. and abroad, and in doing so, increase you value for your organization and your job.
The program will still feature practical workshops, debates on the latest applied research topics, and experts on how their companies, organizations, and unions have successfully navigated workplace issues critical to success.
Registration is open. All participants and attendees must register, including speakers and discussants (chairs, panelists, presenters, speakers, discussants, etc.). Online registration will be open through the last day of the conference, June 16, 2020.
