LASACT Annual Conference
Each year in mid-summer LASACT holds its annual Conference,
rotating the site around the state to the cities with facilities
large enough to accommodate it. The 2009
Conference will be held in Shreveport. Dates and site will be
announced as soon as information is available.
Information on sponsorships, program ads, exhibits, registration,
etc. is posted below.
Outstanding addiction professionals from all over the nation are
featured as keynote speakers and workshop leaders at the Conference.
Additionally, LASACT members and other qualified persons are invited
to submit abstracts to the Conference Planning Committee for
presentation of 1½ hour workshops.
Continuing education credits are available for Conference
attendance and verified participation in the various activities and
events. The continuing education credits that are offered meet the
requirements for certification and recertification for LASACT and
the Office for Addictive Disorders Regulatory Authority (ADRA). Approval
will be requested - and is usually received -
from the Social Work Board. Certificates of
attendance with verified participation hours are presented to each
attendee at the end of the Conference.
