Everyone went out of their way to be warm, gracious and welcoming to me as a new member. I look forward to participating more actively as time goes on.
A new LLAIC member 2023
The instructor was knowledgeable, thorough, engaging, and warm. A superb mix of “teaching”…AND engaging the class in their interpretation and understanding of the material. Her management of the class on Zoom was also excellent.

When I went to the website to find out more about LLAIC and looked at the course offerings, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
