Goals for the New Year
Please join us November 3rd to 5th for the AILA TX/NM/OK Chapter’s annual Wellness Conference in Tulum Mexico, an ancient magical town on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Our Chapter’s Fall Conference is geared toward all aspects of well-being and practice management for immigration lawyers. Strategically scheduled at the end of the year, we invite you to come to this idyllic setting, reflect on the past year and your goals for the coming year, and get your CLE! Our faculty of speakers composed of immigration attorneys and wellness professionals will present on a variety of topics: practice management, effective tools for productivity and efficiency in your practice, boundaries, secondary trauma, the nuances of a virtual workforce and outsourcing, how to delegate effectively and most of all how to take care of YOU.
The conference will be held at the beautiful Hilton Tulum. The deadline to book a hotel room has been extended to August 21, 2022!
