“We’re delighted to welcome good friends and colleagues from so many important trade associations to join our members and guests from the WJA-LA Chapter for a very special evening,” said Veronica Clark-Hudson, co-president of WJA-LA.

“It’s not going to be a traditional sit-down dinner, but rather a festive pre-holiday industry event that encourages people to move around, socialize and mingle,” added Judith Shechter-Lankford, co-president, WJA-LA Chapter.
