We are excited to announce the launch of CLA Member Circle, an online scholarly social community where active CLA members can share, search, and connect with other members by interest, network, forums, and more. 

Additionally, active financial members are invited to join us for CLA Member Circle Presents, a regularly scheduled series of virtual events that will feature members’ work, provide opportunities for networking and mentoring, and enable us to gather together as a CLA community within the virtual space. We invite you to visit the CLA website for updates about the launch and the first event in February, a film screening of "BAM! Chicago's Black Arts Movement" and accompanying Film Panel scheduled for Thursday, February 24th at 7:30pm EST.
