Members-Only Web Meetings

We regularly convene IL members for discussions on topics of interest — which members suggest. These meetings take place on Zoom, and they are designed to be candid conversations among peers, as opposed to passive webcasts. If you’re a current IL member and are logged in, you will see a short registration form (or calendar links) beneath the description of each meeting. We always like to hear suggestions for future meeting topics from our members.

For a complete calendar of all of our in-person and online gatherings, please visit our events page.
