2026 L.A.R.E. Prep Session - Inventory, Analysis and Project Management


  • Wednesday, May 20, 2026 - Thursday, June 04, 2026

All three sessions will take place on Zoom.

To support members planning to write a section of the L.A.R.E. in August, we are offering focused small group study sessions led by Sarah Gronquist. The program consists of the following:  

  • An intro guide to writing the L.A.R.E. session on May 20 at 7 pm
  • Two small group sessions (max 6 people) that focus on a section of the exam.
    • In the first session, you will review content, study plans and receive sample questions to complete.
    • In the second session, you will review the responses to the questions as a group.  
Choose from 1 of the following available groups

Registrants must attend all three sessions in their selected group.

While the introductory session on May 20 will be recorded, the small group sessions will not. These study sessions are interactive and require active participation from all attendees. Participants are expected to come prepared to engage in discussion, ask questions, and contribute to the group.
