It is with great anticipation that we present to you registration for the upcoming LASACT 2024 Annual Conference with a theme of “Continuing a Legacy of Excellence.” This year’s conference holds a special place in our heart, as we celebrate the timeless tradition of passing the torch to new luminaries while honoring the valuable contributions of past educators, addiction professionals, LASACT staff, and association members for their unwavering dedication and service. As a place where creativity and collaboration can intersect, this conference serves as a beacon of inspiration for the next generation of counselors, scholars, and innovators.
As we gather to celebrate professional excellence, we also pay homage to those who have paved the way for us, leaving behind a rich tapestry of knowledge, passion, and commitment. Their legacy serves as a guiding light, urging us to strive for greatness and leave our mark on the world of addiction counseling.
