The Conservation Association of Los Angeles is a local network of professionals caring for art and heritage. The group's goal is to create a sense of community and serve as a resource for conservation professionals at all stages of their career. CALA is comprised of conservation professionals working in the greater Los Angeles area. We organize events to strengthen networks, support emerging professionals, and advance conservation practice, locally and beyond.
