LANA was founded during the spring of 1981 by a group of llama owners and breeders interested in the exchange of information, expanding the existing markets by educating the public, national group advertising, and just having fun with their llamas! Member- suggested programs are implemented by the Board of Directors elected from the membership at large. All Board members are open to the membership. Input from the membership is encouraged.
