  • Dr. Jeff Lakritz (and his OSU department) – Alpaca Reproduction
The cost is $50 to attend and you must be a member.
General registration will close in mid-February to provide adequate time for management.
OSU will have a current list of members and coordinate emailing invitations, process payments and answer all questions regarding registration.  Each registrant will receive the Zoom link, conference information, a reminder email the day before and program notes provided by the speakers. The moderator of the conference will bring all questions posted by viewers to the speakers for discussion during each presentation. Following the conference, a videotape of the conference will be emailed to each registrant for future reference.

Registration will be through the invitation sent by OSU. If you are unsure if your membership is up to date please send us an email.  Not a member, consider joining PAOBA.
