DECEMBER 2020
It takes little reflection to know this has been the most difficult and challenging year. With adversity and challenge has come opportunity, change, new thinking, inspired solutions, and hope for a global restructuring and responsibility.
 
It is the goal of GPSLA to further embrace those responsibilities and challenges of 2021, and beyond, and work towards an inclusive experience and providing resources and connections to best ensure the global population experience in relocating to Los Angeles is a fulfilling and inspirational one.
 
It is with that sentiment that the Associate Members of GPSLA wish you a happy, healthy, safe, and prosperous holiday and 2021.
